Essential question - What causes weather and climates?
Adding this week data analysis and creating weather maps
for predicting weather and climate. We will try to model weather
conditions.

Monday/Tuesday - Skyward assignment to start with in class. We will review atmosphere,
ocean currents, clouds, relative humidity, barometric pressure, climate, and weather.
Students will calculate relative humidity of our classroom and why this data is important to
understanding weather prediction. Students will look at station models and try to understand
the data presented. We will look at 6 different weather maps and as a group try to explain what
the data is telling us about the weather currently at the location and what a prediction could be
for the next 24 hours based on the data we see. Homework is a worksheet called Weather
Station Model Worksheet. The worksheet will be in paper copy but a copy will be emailed to
all students. Hopefully we will have time to look at a weather forecast from WQAD to see
how the meteorologists using the data to explain the weather to viewers.

Wednesday /Thursday - Skyward assignment to start with in class. Students will analyze
10 station models on the front board from cities around the USA. Students will use a USA
map to plot isobar and isotherm lines. Students will take the data and try to predict the weather
for the weekend. We will then look for other data that will help us create a forecast for the
weekend. Students will start a model of the four types of fronts and explain where and why
thunderstorm and tornadoes take place in “tornado alley”. Homework is to find or collect the
high/low temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and precipitation amounts for
Saturday and Sunday

Friday/ Monday- Review Skyward assignment. Storm day!!!! Students will make models of
thunderstorms, lightning, the two ways we think tornadoes are formed, and we will look at the
development of a hurricane. We will have several videos to look at before we create our
models. Students will have to visually model only one of the items listed to display in class.
Reminder to all that homework is to find or collect the high/low temperature, barometric
pressure, relative humidity, and precipitation amounts for Saturday and Sunday at the same
time each day. This information will be collected next week.
