  1. Warm-Up February 20 • A plane trip from New York to L.A. will take about six hours going from East to West but only five hours if you are traveling in the other direction. This is because of a strong, westerly wind caused by the spinning of the earth called the: • a. local winds • b. gusts • c. jet streams • d. sea breezes

  2. Earth Science Rocks • 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 weather and climate. • Learning Target: Today I am learning how global • winds cause weather.

  3. Opening: “What would you wear in ____” • Work Session • Review Coriolis Effect • Global Winds (Smartboard Activity) • Closing: Check homework “Air Masses & Fronts”

  4. What would you wear in Santiago, Chile? (Latin America) 68⁰ 33% 68⁰ : 16 mph 37 ⁰ N/A Temperature: Humidity: Wind Chill: Avg. Wind Speed (Feels Like) Dew Point: Visibility:

  5. What would you wear?

  6. What’s the Coriolis Effect? The apparent curving of the path of winds and ocean currents due to the Earth’s rotation.

  7. Animations

  8. What are global winds? • For this activity, you will need • World map • Three different color pens/pencils • Ruler Smartboard Activity

  9. Closing: Let’s check your homework Write with my pen ONLY; nothing else is in your hand. Any blank spaces, mark them wrong. Were you absent? Step outside and work on it . . . you’ll need a book.
