Maps, Graphs and Tables
Use Graphic "1".
The labels for "A", "B" and "C".
DOUBLE YOUR POINTS by also identifying the labels D, E and F (must get all 3!)
A, B, C=Evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
D, E, F=Transpiration, infiltartion and groundwater?
List the 3 main processes in the water cycle.
What are evaporation, condensation and precipitation?
A sea breeze involves what type of heat transfer?
What is convection?
The type of front where a warm(er) air mass moves towards a cold(er) air mass.
What is a warm front?
What’s the difference between weather and climate?
hint: You can’t ____ a tree, but you can_____.
You can’t weather a tree, but you can climate.
Use Graphic #2.
Describe the shape and volume of water as a solid, liquid and gas.
What are:
solids have definite shape and volume
liquids take the shape of their container and have definite volume
gases have no definte shape and take up whatever space (volume) you give them!
This powers the water cycle. (provides the energy needed for water cycle to occur)
What is "the sun"?
The air pressure over sand on a warm day.
What is "Low"?
A front that involves 3 different air masses.
What is an occluded front?
What is the opposite of a cold front?
hint: A ______ ______.
A warm back.
Use Graphic "3".
The diagram shows two mystery liquids. If they were both poured into the same container, which would end up on top?
Show all work! Including the formula....Including units.....
A would float.
All work must be shown for points.
For A D=m/v=5g/5mL=1g/mL
For B D=m/v=10g/5mL=2g/mL
What clouds are made of.
What is liquid water and dust particles?
(Double points if you said liquid water and condensation nuclei!)
You decide to go to the beach after dinner. You notice that the sand feels cold on your feet. You decide to go for a swim and the water is warm. Why does this happen?
Listen carefully to the answer to make sure it is correct. The answer does not have to be worded the same way as mine.
What is:
Once the sun goes down, the sand loses heat quickly, so it feels cold. The water doesn't lose heat quickly and stays the same temperature more or less so the water feels warm.
Accept all reasonable answers...
What happens to air pressure before, during and after a front passes (there are 3 parts to this answer).
What is
Before=air pressure is lowering
During=air pressure reaches its lowest point and
After=Air pressure is rising?
What do you call a bear that got caught in a light rain? (maybe a warm front was moving through!)
A _________ bear.
A drizzly bear!
Use Graphi "5".
Which location will have precipitation that will move through the area slowly?
Whatis "A"?
The definition for transpiration.
What is the evaporation of water from a plant's leaves.
(To get credit, you must say "evaporation")
What air molecules over the ocean are doing on a summer day
What is "sinking"?
Cold(er) air sinks, warm(er) air rises.
The name of the Front that probably caused the following:
Yesterday was 55 degrees F. This morning there was a storm, but it passed really quickly. Now it is 45 degrees F.
What is a cold front?
The Ummm game.
Talk about the water cycle for 10 seconds without saying "ummm". You also cannot repeat yourself and you cannot share incorrect information.
Someone in the group should keep time and tell you when to start.
If you were able to talk about the water cycle for 10 seconds without saying "ummm", repeating yourself or sharing incorrect information, give yourself the points!
Use Graphic "4"
The area(s) that are under a cold air mass. There are 3.
What is A, D and C
One of two words that refers to water traveling into the ground.
What is "infiltration" or "percolation"?
Draw a diagram of a sea breeze. Use arrows to show convection current, label low and high air pressure.
Accept all reasonable attempts. Teacher check if necessary.
The name of the Front that probably caused the following:
TYesterday it was 32 degrees F in the morning. YIt was cloudy all day and for most of today it was still cloudy. This morning there were scattered flurries of snow and there was a light cover of snow on the ground. Right now the sky is clearing up and I noticed that the snow is melting really quickly. I just looked at the thermometer and noticed that the temperature was up to 45 degrees F!
What is a warm front?
The Ummm game.
Talk about land and sea breezes for 15 seconds without saying "ummm". You also cannot repeat yourself and you cannot share incorrect information.
Someone in the group should keep time and tell you when to start.
If you were able to talk about land and sea breezes for 15 seconds without saying "ummm", repeating yourself or sharing incorrect information, give yourself the points!
