  1. WEATHER AND CLIMATE: When is it hottest, when is it coldest, where and why? WG.3.A Explain weather conditions and climate in relation to annual changes in Earth Sun relationships [SUPPORTING STANDARD] YSLETA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT SOCIAL STUDIES INSTRUCTIONAL TEAM

  2. WEATHER CLIMATE Who can tell me:What’s the difference between… What's the Difference Between Weather and Climate? 02.01.05 The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. -- NASA (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/noaa-n/climate/climate_weather.html)

  3. Which words do you know, and which do you need help with?

  4. Who can tell me:What does this have to do with climate or weather? WINTER for Us, SUMMER for Australia Hint: Tilt Yep. NEAREST in Winter?! NEAREST Farthest Hint: Proximity during REVOLUTION SUMMER for Us, WINTER for Australia

  5. Which of the following is MOST directly responsible for the different seasons on Earth? A rotation B revolution C solstices D position in planetary system When does the Northern Hemisphere have the warmest climate? F when it is tilted most directly towards the sun G when it faces the sun for twelve hours a day H when it is warmest in the southern hemisphere J when it is tilted away from the sun Let’s see what we know…Which can you answer now, and which do you need to peek?

  6. Who can tell me:What does LATITUDE have to do with climate and weather? Hint: Tilt Equator always gets it.

  7. The higher, the colder. (Less dense air can’t hold heat.) The lower, the warmer. (Dense air holds heat.) Who can tell me:What does ELEVATION have to do with climate and weather? Hint: Air Density

  8. Which of the following can be directly correlated to temperature? A Longitude B latitude C elevation D latitude and elevation Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning the climates of the U.S. and Canada? F The U.S. has more varied climate zones than Canada. G Canada has more varied climate zones than the U.S. H Both the U.S. and Canada have tropical wet climate zones. J Neither the U.S. or Canada has tropical wet climate zones. Let’s see what we know…If you can answer the first, can you figure out the next?

  9. So, talk to each other, and then talk to me… • WG.3A Explain weather conditions and climate in relation to annual changes in Earth Sun relationships. • When is it hottest, when is it coldest, where and why? • WORDS to use when you answer: CLIMATE WEATHER REVOLUTION PROXIMITY LATITUDE ELEVATION AIR DENSITY TILT EQUATOR
