Do Now: What are the 5 Layers of the Atmosphere? SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table Do Now: What are the 5 Layers of the Atmosphere?

Earth’s atmosphere is made up of 5 different layers… SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table

Why is the atmosphere divided into 5 different layers? Any guesses? Three properties change with altitude, the AIR PRESSURE and the AIR TEMPERATURE, WATER VAPOR. SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table

The first layer of the atmosphere is the… TROPOSPHERE Weather happens in the troposphere. More than half the mass in the total atmosphere is in this layer. The temperature drops as the altitude increases. TEMPERATURE ALTITUDE

The second layer of the atmosphere is the… STRATOSPHERE The temperature goes up with altitude. OZONE LAYER TEMPERATURE ALTITUDE

The third layer of the atmosphere is the… MESOSPHERE Temperature drops with altitude. Radio waves are reflected back to earth. SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table TEMPERATURE ALTITUDE

The fourth layer of the atmosphere is the… THERMOSPHERE Temperature goes up with altitude. The Sub-Layer called the Ionosphere contains Auroras. TEMPERATURE ALTITUDE

The last layer of the atmosphere is the… EXOSPHERE The temperature in the exosphere goes up with altitude. TEMPERATURE SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table ALTITUDE

Goal for Today: You will be working with your table partners to complete The Layers of the Atmosphere Activity Be Prepared to Share Out! SWBAT: Investigate the Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere by Analysis and Synthesis of the Earth Science Reference Table

Share Out: Layers of the Atmosphere Students will be selected from each group and will be called up to share their rationale for identifying each sample problem on the ELMO. Each person in the group is responsible for understanding the reasoning behind your choices so be prepared!
