Air Movement
Objectives
:
1
) Students will be able to identify the 3 basic types of clouds
2) Students will be able to list some water cycle terminology and explain.
SOL for ACPS:
ES.11 The student will investigate and understand the origin and evolution of the atmosphere and the interrelationship of geologic processes, biologic processes, and human activities on its composition and dynamics. Key concepts include
Scientific evidence for atmospheric composition changes over geologic time;
Current theories related to the effects of early life on the chemical makeup of the atmosphere;
Atmospheric regulation mechanisms including the effects of density differences and energy transfer; and
Potential changes to the atmosphere and climate due to human, biologic, and geologic activity
Focus Activities:
Warm-up
The Cloud
ppt
review slides (pic of clouds)
Cut-n-paste clouds
Practice Essay Quiz
Air Movement Notes
Guided Practice:
The teacher will conduct a review on previously taught material, using a warm up assignment. Also, the teacher will review the basic types of clouds using a slide show.
Independent Practice:
The students will complete the cloud cut n paste with minimal assistance.
Assessment Evaluation:
Students will take a quiz on the Atmosphere (previously taught material).

Clouds
Stratus, Cumulus, Stratocumulus, Altocumulus, cirrus, Cirrocumulus, Nimbostratus, CumulonimbusSlide3
What type of cloud do you see below?Slide4
Stratus Cloud
-Low clouds that often cover the whole sky, associated with moist weather-drizzle, or snow. They are light gray in color and give winter skies a dull gray color.Slide5Slide6
Cumulus Clouds
Formed at higher altitude than stratus clouds. Appear white, fluffy masses with flat bases. Associated with fair weather; on hot summer days they may become extremely large, black and cause heavy rainfall.Slide7Slide8
Stratocumulus Clouds
Low clouds that take the form of large globular masses or dark and light rolls which cover the whole sky. Common during winter and are likely to form in the wake of an advancing cold front. Can cause a small amount of snowfallSlide9Slide10
Altocumulus Clouds
Cover the sky with large white and gray globular masses and rolls. Usually associated with rain or thunderstorms .Slide11Slide12
Cirrus Clouds
Formed by ice crystals, give the cloud a thin, wispy, or feathery appearance. Also indicate the location of a distant storm or approaching change in the weather.Slide13Slide14
Cirrocumulus Clouds
Small globular, white masses or ripples arranged in groups and/or lines. Ice crystals form these clouds and indicate an approaching warm front or storm.Slide15Slide16
Nimbostratus Clouds
Usually bring steady precipitation-rain or snowSlide17Slide18
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Thunderheads, on hot summer days, these clouds generally cause thunderstorms, heavy rains, and hail. Tall cumulonimbus clouds have their tops in cold upper air, where they assume an anvil shape.
