6.3 Solar Energy
Tuesday
Today you will compare and contrast cloud types and relate cloud types to weather conditions. You will also compare and contrast types of precipitation.
1st. Begin by reading about the four main types of clouds by clicking on the links below. Take Cornell notes on each type. Click here2nd. Next you will read about the types of precipitation at THIS website. Take Cornell notes on each. You will need to click the next button hiding at the bottom of the page to read about each type of precipitation.
3rd. Finally you will write two paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast the four main types of clouds and the second will compare and contrast the different types of precipitation.
Monday
Head over to this website and read about how clouds are formed. After reading the short article explain how clouds are formed in your own words.
Next label the steps of the formation of a cloud on the worksheet Miss Murray has for you.
Finally draw an illustration of the formation of a cloud and correctly order the sequence of events.
Tuesday
You will describe the sequence of events that take place in the formation of a cloud. Write and illustrate the sequence of events in cloud formation using this website
Then you will have your last opportunity to finish your weather brochure. Please be sure your name is on the brochure. If you are finish you may either play science games or find games you think would be good for review.
Monday
Today you will learn three basic weather map symbols. Go to this website and take Cornell notes. Be sure to draw an illustration of each symbol also.
Next continue your Cornell notes with this website.
You do NOT need to take notes on the information found on the charts of this website.
Thursday
Today you will work with a partner to create a brochure about several types of weather including thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and droughts. Your brochure must have information about each one individually as well as a section that compares and contrasts these storms and the conditions that create them. You will also create a presentation of your choice that illustrates the comparison visually and through words.
Wednesday
Today you will take Cornell Notes on Earth's energy budget here. You will be graded on your notes. After taking notes you should be able to explain:
Next head to BrainPop and search for "sun." Watch the video title "Sun." Take the short quiz on the sun.
After you have finished search for and watch "Global Warming" on BrainPop. You will then take the short quiz on this topic.
All sheets will be graded today. At the end of class you should be able to:
comprehend and apply basic terminology related to solar energy, including wavelength; ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation; and reflection and absorption.
analyze, model, and explain the greenhouse effect in terms of the energy entering and leaving the atmosphere.
Monday
Today you will read about Earth's energy budget. After your reading you should be able to explain how much of the sun's energy reaches our planet and what happens to that energy after it reaches the Earth.
Head over to NASA and read about Earth's energy budget. As you read complete the "Earth's Energy Budget" worksheet. This is a grade. On the back of the sheet explain how much of the sun's energy reaches the earth and how much of that energy is released back into the atmosphere.
Tuesday
Complete your Earth's Energy Review packet. You will need to visit this site to answer the first section. You will need to read the global and local winds page before answering the third part of the packet. You will use this packet to study tonight. You should also study your vocabulary words for this unit in class and tonight before the test. If you have finished all of this you may answer questions in bags. In this packet you are responsible to:
Order the sequence of events that takes place in the formation of a cloud,
Analyze a diagram of the Earth’s energy budget and explain the energy balance
Analyze and explain how convection currents occur and how they distribute thermal energy in the atmosphere and oceans
Comprehend and apply basic terminology including ultraviolet, infrared and visible light
Thursday
Quiz!!!
What is the greenhouse effect?
Take notes on the different gases involved with the greenhouse effect
Monday
Today you will work with a partner to create a brochure about several types of weather including thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and droughts. Your brochure must have information about each one individually as well as a section that compares and contrasts these storms and the conditions that create them. You will also create a presentation of your choice that illustrates the comparison visually and through words.
Thursday
Head over to brain pop and watch the videos "Weather," "Thunderstorms," "Hurricanes," and "Tornadoes." Take the review quiz as many times as you need for each. I will then give you a quiz that contains some of the questions. Good luck! Take your time and study!
When you are ready head HERE to take the quiz.
