Lesson 2 : Lab
Time Required: 150 minutes- Learn about the factors involved in two weather fronts through a differentiated note-taking sheet
- Construct a kinesthetic model of a weather front, acting out the various factors that contribute to a front of their choice
- Communicate understanding of weather to the group through class presentations.
Standards
- MS-ESS2-5
- Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure, causing weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind) at a fixed location to change over time, and how sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide. Emphasis is on how weather can be predicted within probabilistic ranges. Examples of data can be provided to students (such as weather maps, diagrams, and visualizations) or obtained through laboratory experiments (such as with condensation).] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling the names of cloud types or weather symbols used on weather maps or the reported diagrams from weather stations.]
