Good afternoon! BELL Work (5 min.) Set up today’s pages: 38-39 Answer the question below under the IN: Three Get FUSION book from back cabinet.

Objectives & Learning Goals: Meteorologists / Astronomers CAN: Differentiate between weather and climate using factors such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, air pressure, and wind. Describe the 3 major climate zones. Review Astronomy for EOC. Level 4 I can evaluate how weather models use current atmospheric conditions to predict the weather and analyze climate data to take a stance on the possibility of climate change. Level 3 I can clearly differentiate between weather and climate AND describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather. Level 2 I can describe how ocean currents and winds move around the Earth, list factors that influence weather formation, and summarize examples of weather and climate data. Level 1 With help I can explain some factors that influence weather and the difference between weather and climate.

Checking the IN:

Intro by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Pay close attention to how he explains the differences between weather and climate.

OUT – bottom of page 38 How are the temperature and precipitation factors that determine weather different from the temperature and precipitation factors that determine climate? Level 4 I can evaluate how weather models use current atmospheric conditions to predict the weather and analyze climate data to take a stance on the possibility of climate change. Level 3 I can clearly differentiate between weather and climate AND describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather. Level 2 I can describe how ocean currents and winds move around the Earth, list factors that influence weather formation, and summarize examples of weather and climate data. Level 1 With help I can explain some factors that influence weather and the difference between weather and climate. Weather daily temperature and precipitation. Climate  temperature range and precipitation pattern over the course of years.

Level 4 I can evaluate how weather models use current atmospheric conditions to predict the weather and analyze climate data to take a stance on the possibility of climate change.

Level 3 I can describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather AND clearly differentiate between weather and climate.

Level 2 I can describe how ocean currents and winds move around the Earth, list factors that influence weather formation, and summarize examples of weather and climate data.

Level 1 With help I can explain some factors that influence weather and the difference between weather and climate.
