Standards:
S6E4b. Relate unequal heating of land and water surfaces to form large global wind systems and weather events such as tornados and thunderstorms.
S6E4c. Relate how moisture evaporating from the oceans affects the weather patterns and weather events such as hurricanes.
Essential Question:What factors
influence weather?
2
Activating Strategy:“A Perfect Day”
3
Activating Strategy:
“A Perfect Day”Have you experienced a “perfect day” like Peep,
Chirp, and Quack? Describe your experience.
Did everyone experience the “perfect day” as you did? Why or why not?
What do you think has an influence on our “perfect days”?
4
Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place (short periods of time)
Climate is the average weather of an area over a
long period of time
5
The interaction of water, the sun, and air cause
weather.
6
Turn to an elbow partner and describe what you
have learned so far about the interaction of water,
the sun, and air on Earth. [Hint: water cycle, land/sea
breeze]
7
The Sun provides the Earth’s energy. This energy causes the evaporation of water
from the atmosphere which eventually falls back to Earth
as precipitation.
8
The Sun’s energy also heats the Earth’s surface, which then
heats the air. Due to the unequal heating of the Earth’s
surface, heat is redistributed by air and water currents.
