2. Uneven heating of the Earth causes air movements. These air movements are also called convection currents.

4. How does temperature affect the movement of air?

5. Examples that can be used. If _______ then, _______ because_____________. I think that ________ because ________________.

6. Examples that can be used: If the air is warm then, the air will move up because when I go upstairs in my friends house it is always warmer. I think that the air is warmer on top because it is closer to the sun.

10. We want to test how different air temperatures affect the movement of the air. What are we going to keep the same? (control/constants) What are we going to change? (independent variable) What are we going to measure? (Dependent variable)

11. First, write a prediction, what do you think will happen with the spiral. Second, hold your spiral above the center's object and count to 30. Third, observe and discuss with your neighbors what happened with the spiral. Next, record your observations on your collecting data chart. Please be specific, use lots of descriptive words. Finally, wait quietly until the teacher tells you to move to the next station. Operational Plan
