WEATHER EXPEDITION ACTIVITIES *WEATHER OBSERVATIONS 5.E.1.1, 5.E.1.2 Students record observations of the current weather in a weather log: temperature, cloud type, cloud cover, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation. They collect data throughout the day, and use it to make predictions about future weather. What observations will be different in one hour? Two? At the end of the day? CLOUD ID 5.E.1.2 After an introduction to the 3 basic cloud types (stratus, cumulus, and cirrus), students play a game in which they act out each cloud type. WATER CYCLE TAG 5.P.2.1 Students connect the water cycle to weather through a game of tag. *ACTING OUT AIR MASSES 5.E.1.1, 5.E.1.2 Students act out the correlation between density and temperature, playing the role of gas molecules in an air mass. ACTING OUT AIR PRESSURE 5.P.2.1 Students hold a heavy object in different ways, build a model of a secret room, or use other models physical representations of air pressure. OIL AND WATER 5.P.2.1 Students conduct an experiment, mixing oil & water, to review the concept of density. 26 MATTER What will happen when we pour water into a jar of oil? Which is more dense, oil or water? Is oil most like a warm or cold air mass? What is the least dense object in our jar? The most dense? Do more dense objects sink or rise? *Activities that are most likely to take place during the expedition.
*FRONTS: AIR MASSES COLLIDE 5.E.1.1, 5.E.1.2 Students model cold, warm, stationary, and occluded fronts. They use natural materials to build a city or landscape, then act out warm and cold air masses meeting over it. *JET STREAM 5.E.1.3 Students use a globe or maps to identify global geographic features (equator, poles, tropics, etc.) and draw the Jet Stream as a giant front where polar cold air & subtropical warm air meet. They'll act out or use natural materials to create a Jet Stream model. REFLECTION: WEATHER POETRY Students enjoy a quiet time to observe the sky and write weather poetry. WEATHER NC ESSENTIAL STANDARD AND CLARIFYING OBJECTIVES 5.E.1 5.E.1.1 5.E.1.2 5.E.1.3 Understand weather patterns and phenomena, making connections to the weather in a particular place and time. Compare daily and seasonal changes in weather conditions (including wind speed and direction, precipitation, and temperature) and patterns. Predict upcoming weather events from weather data collected through observation and measurements. Explain how global patterns such as the jet stream and water currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, wind direction and speed, and precipitation. *Activities that are most likely to take place during the expedition.
