How to play… –Don’t play like Jeo_ _ _ _ y. –Class should be divided into several small groups. –Groups should use science journal (red slide notes), homework, and other available materials to assist you. –Groups can communicate quietly with each other but no sharing answers between groups. Practice quietly communicating right now? Practice Communication Question: Your group gets to order one pizza and you can have two toppings. What does your group want?

Questions 1-20 = 5pts Each Final Category (Bonus) = 1pt Each Final Questions = 5 pt wager If you wager 5 on the last question and get it wrong you lose 5 pts. Wager 5 and get it right you get 5 pts. Find the Owl = Secretly write “Owl” in the correct box worth 1pt. “I’ll be about this big.”

How long will frost bite occur if the wind is traveling at 50 mph and it’s -25 degrees out? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Name this dangerous weather system? –Winds of 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour or greater. –Usually accompanied by rain, thunder, and lightning. –Usually originate near the equator and travel North, or Northwest in the Northern Hemisphere (Coriolis Force). –Categories I-V (V is the largest)

This is a measure of reflectivity of light on a surface. –Dark colored materials heat up quicker than light colored materials. Air above dark colored surfaces heats up quicker.
