THE ATMOSPHERE The Atmosphere is the Mixture of Gases that Surround the Earth. Read Unit 3 Lesson 2 pg 144-148 /Digital Lesson

“OUT” NOTEBOOK Answer the following in complete sentences: 1. What is the atmosphere? 2. What are its Main Functions?

AtmosPhere OUT The atmosphere is the mixture of gases that surrounds Earth. The functions of the atmosphere include protection from the sun, maintaining temperature, and supplying gases necessary for breathing.

Bellwork Thursday 12/07/17 IN OUR ATMOSPHERE DAILY TARGET Identify and describe the layers of the Atmosphere The stratosphere is warmer at the top than at the bottom. True or False TRUE

What is a direct result of trapping the energy by Earth’s atmosphere? THURSDAY 12/7/17 OUT Describe the importance of the greenhouse effect. Discuss the effects of damaging the atmosphere What is a direct result of trapping the energy by Earth’s atmosphere? Moderate Temperatures

What is a direct result of trapping the energy by Earth’s atmosphere? THURSDAY 12/7/17 OUT What is a direct result of trapping the energy by Earth’s atmosphere? Moderate Temperatures Nat Geo long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tz8oyuT4E0

Air pressure The atmosphere is held in place by Gravity. Gravity pulls gas molecules toward Earth’s surface, causing AIR PRESSURE. Air pressure is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface. Fewer and fewer gas molecules in the air as you move away from Earth’s surface, so as altitude increases air pressure decreases. (as you go up, pressure goes down)

4 Teams – Each Person at Table Assigned an Atmospheric Layer -Using all classroom resources- textbooks, other reading materials, wall posters and computers (Computers limited to 7 minutes per team- timed) -Every team member writes all questions and answers down   Jigsaw- Teach each other your Layer

4 TEAMS of the atmosphere: 1. Thermosphere 2. Mesosphere 3. Stratosphere Explain ozone 4. Troposphere

ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TEAM’S ATMOSPHERIC LAYER 1. Describe what takes place in this layer 2. The distance above the Earth’s surface- in miles or kilometers 3. What is the relationship between altitude, air pressure and air temperature? 4. Does air pressure increase or decrease with the altitude? 5. Does air temperature increase or decrease with altitude? 6. What is the average air temperature in your layer? 7. Where are YOU located in relation to the Earth- which layer? 8. Are you in the upper, middle or lower atmosphere? 9. Any OTHER Interesting facts
