water as a gas
What is a cloud?
Water Vapor
In hot things, molecules move... (quickly or slowly)
quickly
What is an air parcel?
air that moves together
What is a molecule?
Two or more atoms combined in a particular way
What is the water cycle?
The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
How does water vapor get into the atmosphere for clouds to form?
Evaporation
In cold things, molecules move...(quickly or slowly).
Slowly

Name 3 of our past units 👀
Possible Answers: Microbiome, Metabolism, Traits and Reproduction, Thermal Energy, Ocean-Atmosphere and Climate, Weather Patterns
What is precipitation?
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds onto the ground
A person who studies clouds and weather is called a...
meterologist
Do hot things transfer energy to cold things, or do cold things transfer energy to hot things?
Hot things transfer energy to cold things
What do the numbers in the air parcels represent?
The outside number represents the temperature of the surrounding air, and the inside number represents the temperature of an air parcel.
A scientific argument starts with a...
question!
What is evaporation?
the process by which a liquid changes into a gas
the troposphere
The sun's energy is transferred to...
the ground and then into the air
Why will storm 2 produce more rain?
A) Storm 2. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
B) Storm 2. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
B) Storm 2. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
Everyone in your group must say something! 🥳
What is condensation?
the process by which a gas changes into a liquid
Wind is the movement of air in a particular direction. It...
A) Pushes an air parcel higher, causing it to lose more energy, which causes more rain.
B) Keeps the air parcel at the surface, causing less rain.
A) Pushes an air parcel higher, causing it to lose more energy, which causes more rain.
The air temperature of Puerto Rico is higher than the air temperature of Canada. What is the main cause of the different air temperatures?
A) More heat from the center of Earth is transferred to the ground in Puerto Rico than in Canada, and that energy transferred to the air above it.
B) There is less wind in Puerto Rico and more wind in Canada.
C) More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Puerto Rico than in Canada and that energy is transferred from the ground to the air above it.
C) More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Puerto Rico than in Canada and that energy is transferred from the ground to the air above it.
What could explain why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2? Storm 1's air parcel was...
A) warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.
B) warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy
B) warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy
In order to produce energy...cells need these two molecules.
glucose and oxygen!
