12. Notes: Air Pressure
Air Pressure—the force per unit area of air’s weight (due to gravity) on Earth’s surface
Air moves from areas of high pressure (hot areas like Earth’s surface) to areas of low pressure (colder areas like the atmosphere), creating wind
Air pressure decreases with increased altitude

13. Sand, Soil, Water Lab
In partners, measure the difference in temperature change between beakers of sand, soil, and water

14. Closing
Why do we have sea breezes?

15. Warm Up 3/10 Think back to our lab on Friday…
Which substance heated up the fastest?
Which substance cooled down the fastest?

18. Air Pressure Packet Take out your air pressure homework packet
It will be checked for completion
Then, move around the room, checking your answers with those posted on the wall

19. Sand, Soil, Water Lab Thinking back to the lab….
Why did the sand heat up the quickest?
Why did the water take the longest to cool?

20. Wind What do you think causes wind? Two types of wind patterns
Differences in temperature!
Two types of wind patterns
Local
Global
Just like in the lab, we saw that different surfaces heat up and cool at different rates. The differences in these are what causes winds.

21. Local Winds 100km or less in distance Four types of local winds
Sea-Breeze
Land-Breeze
Mountain Breeze
Valley Breeze

22. Sea Breeze Land-Breeze

23. Sea Breeze

24. Land Breeze

25. Mountain and Valley Breezes
Use what you know to draw air movement arrows for mountain and valley breezes on your foldable
DO THIS IN PENCIL!

27. Closing Choose a local wind that we learned about today.
Explain how temperature and air pressure create this local wind.

28. Warm Up 3/11 Choose a local wind that we learned about yesterday.

34. What factors affect wind?
Coriolis effect
Friction

35. Notes: Coriolis Effect
Coriolis effect—tendency of an object moving over Earth’s surface (airplane, rocket, wind) to curve away from its path of travel
Caused by Earth rotating
Therefore, objects curve to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere

38. Notes: Friction Friction—force resisting surface winds
Rough land=more friction=move slower=more deflection from Coriolis effect (and vice versa)
Higher altitude=less friction=move faster=less deflection from Coriolis effect (and vice versa)

39. Notes: Global Winds
Global winds—uneven heating of Earth’s surface creates pressure differentials and therefore predictable winds on a worldwide scale

40. Global Winds Diagram
Use pages in your textbook to label your global winds diagram
When you finish, we will review your diagrams as a class
If you finish early, please begin working on your global winds questions on the back of your diagram worksheet

41. Closing

46. Notes: Global Winds and Weather
Low Pressure
When hot air rising
Rhymes with snow or Lowsy/Lousy weather
At latitudes: 60N, 0, 60S
High pressure
When cold air is sinking
Rhymes with dry weather
At latitudes: 90N, 30N, 30S, 90S

47. Global Winds Stations
Ms. Goldsmith and Ms. McGowan will place you in groups of 3
You will have 5 minutes at each station to analyze the artifact in front of you and answer the appropriate questions

48. Closing

49. Compass Partner Ms. Goldsmith and Ms. McGowan will play 8 song clips
At the stop of each clip, you are expected to find one partner and put their name in one of your compass partner boxes
If you are writing your partner’s name in the north box, they must write your name in their north box!
