34. In your INB, set up a page with the following: Convection Current Reading V: 0 What is a convection current? How do convection currents affect winds? What is the source of energy that drives convection currents? Student Choice…. Write a question and answer it using text evidence from the reading.

35. Read about convection currents and then answer the questions. Convection Current Reading V: 0

36. Turn to your partner and answer the question: “What is wind?” “What causes the wind to blow?” Together, select the explanation you both think is the most accurate. Share with the class!

37. What is wind? Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Since the earth’s surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s radiation unevenly.

38. What causes the wind to blow? As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the climate is colder. Warm air, which weighs less than cold air, rises. Then cool air moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.

39. What is wind? (Brainpop) http://www.brainpop.com/science/weather/wind/

40. CONVECTION transfer of heat by the movement of warmed matter; hot air/water rises, cool air/water sinks

41. Hot Air is Less Dense! (so it rises)

42. What Can Convection Do?

43. CONVECTION Moves air in the atmosphere!

44. CONVECTION Wind over the shore changes direction because of EARTH’S UNEVEN WARMING & COOLING!

45. What Causes Wind? Bill Nye’s Explains Wind in 2 minutes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqohRu2RRk&feature=related Bill didn’t use the word “convection”… but he described it! How did he demonstrate convection?
