Class this week: This week we are learning about the layers of the atmosphere and how they are divided. (Spoiler alert: temperature patterns.) There are a ton of readings and practice quizzes for students to complete on Google Classroom. Google Classroom Code: mhri328
Table of Contents for Atmosphere Unit (digital copies of all items!) Resources for Atmosphere Unit HW = Homework WU = Warm Ups Monday, 11/26 HW: Finish Google Classroom assignments. Test on layers on Friday, 11/30. WU: Pages A16 - 21 in yellow book or see links below. A 1.1 - Earth's atmosphere supports life A1.2 - The sun supplies the atmosphere's energy 1.What does it mean when energy from the sun is reflected? 2.What does it mean when energy from the sun is absorbed? 3.How might a thick, puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the sun’s radiation than a thin, wispy cloud? 4.Planes fly near the top of the troposphere in the jet stream. Is it more important to heat or to cool the passenger cabin? Explain! Tuesday, 11/27 HW: Finish questions from Complex Text: Layers of the Atmosphere. Test on layers on Friday, 11/30. WU: Pages A22 – A25 in yellow book or see link below. A1.3 - Gases in the atmosphere absorb radiation 1.Where is the ozone layer located? 2.What type of radiation does the ozone layer affect? 3.How do greenhouse gases keep the earth warm? 4.What would happen if gases in the atmosphere absorbed visible light? 5.Name 3 greenhouse gases. 6.How would the temp of Earth be affected if the amount of greenhouse gases were increased? Wednesday, 11/28 HW: Study for test on Friday! WU: Pages: A27 – A33 or this link: A1.4 - Human activities affect the atmosphere 1.List 2 natural sources of greenhouse gases. 2.List 2 human activities that produce greenhouse gases. 3.Classify these as particulates or gases: dust, ozone, pollen, carbon monoxide, methane, water vapor, nitrogen. 4.Winds typically blow across the US from west to east. Where will air pollution from Raleigh end up? What is the source of pollution in the mountains of our state? Thursday, 11/29 HW: Study for test on Friday! WU: Use Pages A16 – A21 to answer these Q’s or this link. 1.Largest layer of the atmosphere? 2.Smallest layer of the atmosphere? 3.Layer where the ozone layer is located? 4.Layer where weather is located? 5.Layer where most meteors burn up? 6.Layer where auroras occur? 7.What physical property defines the differences in the layers? Friday, 11/30 HW: Retake your test online from home if you did not earn 21 or higher. WU: Page A37, #9-16 to review before test. Comments are closed.
