Evaporation

7. Precipitation
Rain
Sleet
Snow
Hail

8. Air Pressure/Temperature
Air pressure is affected by:
The air above it
Temperature
How warm is the air?

9. Wind Wind is moving air Wind speed – how fast the air is moving
Caused by uneven heating of the earth’s air

10. Storms Most common storm = thunderstorms
United States has more tornados than any other country
Tropical storms become hurricanes if wind speed reaches 74 mph

11. Life Science Weather affects our daily lives.
How does it affect humans?
How does it affect plants?
How does it affect animals?

12. Meterology Uses instruments Forecasts weather
Weather patterns are observed

13. Social Studies
Geography
Disasters
Personal

14. Disasters
Hurricanes
Tornados

15. Geography Where you live will determine
The seasons you will experience
The temperature
The amount and types of precipitation

16. Personal Why do we care about the weather? It affects how you dress
It is dependent upon where you live
It can affect what you eat

23. Mathematics
We will collect data and then construct graphs using the data.

24. Data Collection We will measure: Temperature Wind speed
Amount of rainfall

25. Graphing We will graph the following:
Bar graph of average temperature of each month
Line graph of anemometer readings (wind speed)
