  1. L24The meteorologist says a storm is coming… Air Masses and Fronts Created by sfalwell, permission for teachers to use if they include a link to http://comelearnmore.com/

  2. Air is a FLUID • A fluid can be a liquid or a gas • Like water, air FLOWS and FORMSMASSES (AKA “blobs”) http://www.google.com/imgres?start=126&hl=en&sa=X&qscrl=1&rlz=1T4SNNT_enUS351US356&biw=1093&bih=453&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=GoJeomeIyRjrsM:&imgrefurl=http://www.teachingsafari.com/home/saf/page_170&docid=HZ_dFhNKoLVydM&imgurl=http://www.teachingsafari.com/shop/images/cec_students_swimming_lake_michigan.jpg&w=325&h=246&ei=gFF7UKOTApOy8QSe9YHABg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=501&vpy=2&dur=1851&hovh=195&hovw=258&tx=137&ty=87&sig=114067199968675807288&page=11&tbnh=152&tbnw=199&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:36,s:100,i:112 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5I_y-CWxzH8/TsC1qGQL9AI/AAAAAAAAA8g/pAWCQh-PfLA/s1600/pouring_water2.jpg

  3. VOCABULARY • a “blob” of air with similar properties • Near equator (warmer) • Near poles (colder) • Over land (dry) • Over water (humid) • Air Mass = • Tropical = • Polar = • Continental = • Maritime =

  5. where 2 or more air masses meet FRONT = 4 Types of Fronts • Warm front • Cold front • Stationary front • Occluded front Review: • How does different temperature air move? • What makes clouds and precipitation? • R24 Quest. go on bottom of page • Key words in your answers: • Density • Condensation

  12. Set Up Interactive Notebook Pages Notes on 4 types of fronts At the end of this lesson, you want to be able to explain: • How are air masses formed and named? • What are the 4 kinds of fronts? • How are they named? • What kind of weather do they bring? Why?
