Description

I think it is helpful to look at real weather data when discussing weather. Even though we have a class weather station, it is not totally accurate. Luckily for us, there was a weather station across the street! For bellwork each day, I had the students check the weather station and record relevant weather info that we were learning about. After tracking the weather for 8 consecutive days, students really dove into the data and answered questions, hopefully discovering what happens when pressure and humidity changes.

The product delivered is a Google Drive folder containing: Google Sheet for graphing the data, a Doc for recording the data, a CLASS copy where I would also keep track of data for students that miss a day, and a Doc of analysis questions.

You will need to edit the Docs to provide students correct links to weather stations and if you would like to provide them with sample class data, in case they miss a day.

NGSSMS-ESS2-4

Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. Emphasis is on the ways water changes its state as it moves through the multiple pathways of the hydrologic cycle. Examples of models can be conceptual or physical. A quantitative understanding of the latent heats of vaporization and fusion is not assessed.

NGSSMS-ESS2-5

Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions. Emphasis is on how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure, causing weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind) at a fixed location to change over time, and how sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide. Emphasis is on how weather can be predicted within probabilistic ranges. Examples of data can be provided to students (such as weather maps, diagrams, and visualizations) or obtained through laboratory experiments (such as with condensation). Assessment does not include recalling the names of cloud types or weather symbols used on weather maps or the reported diagrams from weather stations.
