Monday, Wednesday Period 2,4, and 9
Tuesday, Thursday
Period 3,5, and 10
Friday Real World at GHS
Essential question - What causes weather and climates?
Monday/Tuesday - Start with a skyward assignment on atmosphere and oceans.
We will start with a coloring activity of Earth’s cold and warm ocean currents. We
will talk through 5 thinking questions about ocean currents and students will
be expected to take notes on the discussion to be turned in for a grade. The
discussion will be followed by an informational video clip showing the ocean
currents and the interactions between air and water as well as the salinity
differences. Students will be given 15 minutes to make a model of ocean
water layers - cold fresh, warm fresh, cold salt, and warm salt. Students will
hypothesis the correct layering and then prove whether they are correct or
incorrect. We will end with the Rubber ducky story/video. There will be a
homework worksheet given.
Wednesday/ Thursday - Review skyward assignment. Students will create
pictures explaining land and sea breezes after reviewing data shared with the
class. The picture must explain the data. Students will review the locations of
cold and warm water ocean currents. The weather phenomena of El Nino and
La Nina will be explained. Students will look at the the essential question and
connect ocean currents to weather and climates. We will conclude by labeling
a map with hurricane zones, deserts, and anomalies of climate t (Iceland) hat
result from ocean currents. We will review expectations for our field trip to the
Real World simulation at the GHS field house. Homework will be collected.
