Investigation Packet
In an empty room where the air is not moving, what part of the room will be hottest?
What part will be coldest?
Why?
I can explain how convection contributes to movement of ocean water, weather, and climate on Earth by completing a series of investigations.
This means I will carefully read and carry out the lab procedures.
This means I will make and record observations about convection.
This means I will analyze my observations and connect them back to convection on Earth.
Investigation: Convection
First, let's refresh what we read about the process of convection on Earth:
Lab Procedure
Who can read the directions on top?
Who can read the materials list?
Who can read the procedure?
Investigation: Weather
Blank map
Homework
No homework!
Debrief
I can explain how convection contributes to movement of ocean water, weather, and climate on Earth by completing a series of investigations.
