Let’s Play Stand up, push your chair in, and sit in teams of 4.

Midday / noon At what time would your shadow be the SHORTEST? 11am, 12pm, or 9am 12pm What happens to the temperature as the angle of insolation increases? It gets warmer. The smaller the angle of insolation, the ___________ the shadows. longer What type of texture gets the hottest and WHY? Rough textures. They cause light to bounce around at many angles and absorb more heat. Clouds are made up of _____ or ___________. Water droplets or ice crystals This type cloud forms in layers at midaltitudes. altostratus This type of cloud develops vertically and produces severe weather. cumulonimbus ________ clouds are wispy and feathery and only form at high altitudes. cirrus Explain the difference between an ice crystal and water droplet cloud. Water droplet clouds tend to have sharp, well defined edges and appear darker in color. Ice crystal clouds tend to have fuzzy, less distinct edges and appear whiter. What is the most common type of precipitation? rain _______ forms when rain drops fall through a layer of air that is below freezing. Sleet How does snow form? When water vapor in a cloud turns directly into ice crystals. How big must a piece of ice be to be considered “hail”? Greater than 5mm in diameter Explain how hail forms and grows in size. 1. Starts off as pellets of ice 2. Grows as tossed by updrafts. 3. When they fall they become coated with water and as they rise the water turns into an icy shell. 4. This happens over and over again. What happens to temperature as you get higher in altitude It gets colder What is human body temperature in F and C? 98.6 F and 37 C What is freezing in F and C? 0˚C and 32˚F What is boiling in F and C? 212˚F and 100˚C What’s the difference between sleet and hail? Sleet forms when rain fall through a layer of the air that is below freezing. It’s also smaller than 5mm in diameter. What is needed for water to evaporate? Energy from the sun What happens to precipitation once it hits the Earth’s surface (one of 3 things)? 1. It evaporates immediately 2. becomes groundwater or 3. runoff. What are the 3 main processes of the water cycle? Evaporaton, condensation, precipitation How do plants put water into the air? transpiration What 2 processes take water out of the air? Condensation and precipitation The air is made up of 78% _____, 21% _____, and 1% _______ 78% Nitrogen 21% Oxyen 1% water vapor and dust particles What is the opposite of evaporation? condensation What is condensation? Gas to a liquid What is the formula used when converting from F to C? (F-32) x 0.555 Explain how condensation forms on a glass of lemonade. The warm air around the cold glass cools off and condenses into water droplets on the side of the glass. Final Jeopardy TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE ! How many degrees Celsius would the temperature drop if you went up 6,000 ft. in altitude? 12 degrees Daily Double!
