Essential Question: Is climate change natural or is it something caused by humans?
****ADD A FOLDER TO YOUR PORTFOLIO TITLED "1.1 AIR PRESSURE." AND SAVE ALL WORK IN YOUR FOLDER****
Goal Standard: Students will understand that weather is a result of complex interactions of Earth's atmosphere land and water that are driven by energy from the sun and can be predicted and described through complex models.

Brainstorm!
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE SIGNED IN ONCE YOU GET ON THE PADLET OR ADD YOUR NAME TO THE POST SO PEOPLE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. IF THERE IS NO NAME, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR THINKING.
Use the Weather Terms Discussion Board to record your initial thoughts and everything you might know (it doesn't matter if it is right or not) about weather and climate change. Use the ideas you and your classmates recorded to come up with a definition for both. THEN develop 3-5 questions total that you hope to get answered during this unit. Please only do the columns labeled "Weather" and "Climate Change".

1.1 Making Scientific Observations and Inferences.webmHow can we use inferences to understand a new scientific concept? Watch the hot air balloon video below. As you watch, make at least 2 observations and 2 inferences about what you see. How do you think this might relate to weather?

Air Pressure Reading.pdfCreate a Diagram
Create a Diagram
Start by opening the assignment using Kami. Read the article and stop at each break to create/find an image of what is being discussed in the reading. Then watch the video embedded in that article to further support your thinking of how high and low air pressure is formed. At the end, you will put it all together and draw your own diagram of how air pressure works! Please notice that there are FOUR different steps to this process!

Climate change in greenland?
In this article, it talks about the connection between air pressure and climate change. As you read the article feel free to make a copy of the document and annotate it (optional). You should also use questioning to help you gain a deeper understanding of what the article is saying. Refer back to the mini lesson video if you need more clarification on the questioning diagram below. Use the graphic organizer to help you track your questioning and thinking. Consider how questioning during this activity has helped you learn more.

Air Pump (electrical or hand)
2 Liter Bottle
Bottle cork with an air pump needle poking through it from top to bottom
Rubbing alcohol (90% works best). You only need enough to cover the bottom of the bottle)
