  1. Warm-up Wednesday, February 13 Based on the weather outside, answer the questions: What type of pressure system is it? (Low or High) Is it a cold or warm front? What would the isobars on a weather map look like for this type of weather? Cold

  2. MYP Unit Question: What should I wear today? Area of Interaction: Environment Learner Profile: Communicator Standard: Understand how the distribution of land and oceans affect climate and weather.

  3. Learning Target: Today I’m learning how the temperature of the atmosphere affects weather because it impacts my environment. Opening: Beach Video – which way is the wind blowing? Work Session: Review conclusions of heat lab Video: Global Winds Notes over land and sea breezes Closing: What’s the weather like in

  4. Let’s review the lab from yesterday. What type of heating was occurring over the “land” and “ocean?” (radiation, convection, or conduction) Which one heated up the fastest? Which one cooled the fastest? Land Water

  5. In your notebook, page ____ draw this image. Title the page “Land and Sea Breezes.”

  6. Under the Land and Sea Breeze image write the following information: • Weather is caused by unequal • heating of earth’s surface. • Air moves from areas of high to low areas of concentration (high to low pressure)

  7. Analyze this: • During the day, the land warms up quicker than the water. • What happens to the warm air above the land? • What replaces the warm air? • Where does the cool air come from? This is called a SEA BREEZE

  8. So what do I write down? Sea Breeze • Occurs in the day time • Warm air from land rises up (low pressure) • Cool air from the water replaces it

  9. Why is it cooler on the beach at night • than it is during the day? • Where is the warmer air located? • Where is the breeze coming from? This is called a LAND BREEZE

  10. Land Breeze • Occurs at night • Warm air from ocean rises (low pressure) • Cool air from the land replaces it

  11. Closing: What would you wear in New York, NY??

  12. Inches to Mill bars (mb) • 1029 mb = 30.39 inches • 1002 mb = 29.6 inches • 1000 mb = 29.53 inches • 960 mb = 28.34 inches To convert inches of mercury to millibars, multiply the inches value by 33.8637526
