States of Water Solid Liquid Gas
When a sample of water changes from a solid to a liquid, how much does the mass change? • Mass is greater in the solid state than it is in the liquid state • Mass is great in the liquid state than it is in the solid state • Mass is equal in the solid and liquid states.
Law of Conservation of Mass • The law of conservation of matter means that matter is not lost during a change in the state of water. Therefore, mass is not lost during a change in the state of water.
Where Can Water be Found? • Hydrosphere: All the water on or beneath Earth's surface
Where Can Water be Found? • Biosphere: All the living things on Earth and their environments
Where Can Water be Found? • Geosphere: The solid part of Earth including all rocks and mineral
Where Can Water be Found? • Water Cycle: the movement and storage of water between Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
Properties of Water • Molecule The smallest particle of a substance that retains the chemical and physical properties of the substance and is composed of two or more atoms • Billions and Billions of water molecules come together to form bodies of water such as rivers and lakes.

The Atmosphere • A protective layer of gases that surrounds the Earth like an envelop How do you think the atmosphere protects the biosphere, geosphere, and water cycle?
Structure of the Atmosphere • The effects of gravity, solar radiation, and the properties of the gases cause the atmosphere to be layered. These layers are ordered based on their temperature and density
Atmospheric Pressure • Air pressure is the force exerted on you by the weight of tiny particles of air (air molecules). Why role does gravity play? How does altitude affect air pressure?
Tools for Measuring Air Pressure • Barometer - Liquid mercury inside a long glass tube moves up and down based on the force of the atmosphere on the liquid. What happens to the weather and temperature as the barometric pressure increases or decreases?
Wind Energy • What can wind be used for? • What are some advantages and disadvantages of wind energy?

Weather Maps What can you infer about the weather on March 11, 2010, compared with Florida’s expected climate in March? Was it warmer or colder than usual?Hint: Compare the data on Map 1 with the data on Map 2 and Map 3. On March 11, 2010, how many of Florida’s temperature readings for the daily high temperature were above average?Hint: Compare the top numbers in Map 1 with the climate data for the mean daily maximum temperatures for Florida in Map 2.
Weather Records • Weather data can be collected to make climate maps. • Predicting future climate events, such as droughts, can be easier. • Collecting weather records can help scientists see patterns in the weather.
Climate Zones • A climate zone is an area on Earth with similar temperature and precipitation patterns. • Climate Zones affect the Biosphere • There are three types of zones Polar Temperate Tropical Temperate Polar
Temperate Climate Zones Grasslands Temperate Forests Chaparral
Polar Climate Zones Taiga Tundra
