World Book Kids. PBL weather. Weather Forecasting. How is a good weather forecast made?
In this unit, students will become meteorologists as they explore the conditions that make up weather. Through an ongoing email exchange, students will share weather related information about their own location while learning about the weather in their ePals location. Essential Questions What conditions create weather? What factors make the weather change? In what ways does weather affect our lives? What methods should we use for predicting the weather? Objectives Students will know and be able to explain three components of weather: temperature, air pressure and humidity. Students will observe and record weather conditions for one week including temperature, cloud cover and precipitation.
Students will research and record weather conditions for their ePals location for one week. Students will summarize and compare weather data using both graphic and narrative forms. Students will learn how weather conditions and phenomena occur and can be predicted. Standards. Sun-Earth Misconceptions. A list of common and uncommon, famous and infamous misconceptions about solar-terrestrial physics... + Earth is closest to the Sun is the summertime or, it is warmer in summer because Earth is closer to the Sun False.
This is by far the most common misconception about the relationship between Sun and Earth, one that is unfortunately perpetuated by lousy diagrams in most school textbooks. When someone says we are closer to the Sun in the summertime, do you ever remind them that while it may be summer in the northern hemisphere, it is wintertime in the southern hemisphere...and six months from now, the seasons and Earth's position will be reversed?
In fact, in summer in the northern hemisphere, Earth is actually at its farthest point away from the Sun. So how can that be? Despite what you learned in school about Earth's "elliptical" orbit around the Sun, that elliptical orbit is pretty close to being circular (not the extended oval you see in most books) . + The Sun does not rotate False.
