1. KEY TO SUCCESS = $$$$ RESPONSIBILITY ORGANIZATION SKILLS: READING & UNDERSTAND... KEY TO LEARNING WRITTEN EXPRESSION COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY (iPad) TEACHERS GOAL: GOOD THINKERS & CREATIVITY

2. OBJ: Given activity sheet and notes SWBAT explain the water cycle and how clouds form using their textbook with 70% accuracy. DN: Complete Water Cycle handout using word bank Hand-in HCLW Lab (college style, data table, graph, abstract form) ACT: Introduction to... Water Cycle Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Lithosphere How Do Clouds Form? Cloud Types (associated with Fronts) Text, read p. 54-60 Work on Water in the Atmosphere Booklet HW: Complete Water in the Atmosphere Booklet; Work on Meteorology Activity Sheet; Weather Exam, Oct 29; Interim Exam, Nov. 6 (10%)

3. Water Cycle Notes

4. Lesson Notes Hydrosphere: liquid (water) layer of the Earth (e.g., oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, glaciers?) Atmosphere: gas layer of the Earth Lithosphere: solid (rock) layer of the Earth (= crust + uppermost mantle) Cloud Formation: warm air (humid/moist, carries water), rises; why? less dense, cools with altitude; water vapor (gas) → tiny water droplets (liquid) [process: condensation] attach onto condensation nuclei, clouds form Cloud Types: cumulus = puffy; cirrus = high altitude, feathery, wispy clouds (lowermost stratosphere); cumulonimbus = chimney-like puffy rain clouds (cold front, heavy downpour); nimbostratus = layered rain clouds (warm fronts, slow drizzle)

6. HOW DO CLOUDS FORM Condensation nuclei Warm increasing altitude Cold

7. pollen, volcanic ash, pollution = Water vapor gas → tiny moisture droplets Precipitation

13. Cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) Clouds

14. Cirrus Clouds = wispy, feathery high altitude lower Stratosphere
