·      Sources of temperature change and precipitation

You need to find all these terms in your workbook, provincial guide and text book.

Number One

There are two types of energy, what are they?

Thermal energy is a form of energy.

We can describe lots of thermal energy as Heat

Heat is a sum of?

What is the unit for heat?

What are the three types of heat transfer?

Can you give an example of three types of heat transfer?

The behavior of things getting hot or cold is explored in a topic called “thermodynamic”. There are distinct “laws” of thermodynamics.

Temperature is a measurement of “average speed of kinetic energy or average speed of molecules”. Temperature is a quantitative value.

Number Two

Force per unit area is pressure

Types of pressure

Units of pressure

High verses low pressure

Number Three

You need to complete activity on how to read a weather map

Compare Daily Weather to weather forecast.

You need to go to one location and look the same direction at the same time.

You need to record data

·      Temp

·      Precipitation

·      Barometric pressure

·      Wind strength and direction

·      Time

·      Direction you are facing to observe weather

You will compare your observations with weather forecast

You will record data and convert data into a weekly plot of data to make a graph.

Questions:

1.   Did your daily weather match the forecast?

2.   What trend did you notice with temp, precipitation and pressure?

3.   What could have changed your daily weather in comparison to weather forecast?

4.   Was there a low or high pressure ridge or both?

5.   How is the wind direction related to the pressure system?

6.   How is the daily weather affected by the current season?

Next week will be unit test

We start chapter one!
