3/19 Earth Science Class update and homework due 3/26

Hi folks,

Sorry this is so late. I thought I sent this out on Thursday morning but apparently not.

This week we really took the time to learn how to identify different clouds.

Homework for this week is to take a look at the .pdf I've enclosed in this email.

Do the assignments on pages 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Also please take pictures of at least 5 different types of clouds on, at least, 3 different days. I'm looking for, at least 5 pictures so, for example, you could take 2 pictures on Friday, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Monday.

You can print them out or email them to me if you wish. Be sure to label them with the type of cloud that they are and be sure to indicate if it is a high or low pressure day.

3/12 Earth Science - Coriolis Effect

https://youtu.be/mcBySugwu4w

3/12 Earth Science update and homework due 3/19

Hi folks,

Today we took a look at the very strange concept of the Coriolis effect.  This effect, along with convection currents cause the global winds and weather patterns that we see across the Earth.  We also took the time to create a small cloud in a bottle.

For homework this week please do the enclosed worksheet.  There are questions from lectures and from the book so feel free to use your notes and chapter 15.

I've also included the answers for you.  When you are done with the worksheet take a look at the answers.  Make sure your answers are correct and that you fully understand each one.  Study the answers because you can be pretty sure they will be on a quiz in the future.

Some outside time today for Earth Science

Hi folks,

We may get a chance to do some stuff outside today so be sure to dress for the weather.  Thanks to today's high pressure system it appears that we should have a cool but sunny day.

See you all soon!

Best,
