GULF STREAM OCEAN CURRENT MODEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER


FINAL WEATHER AND CLIMATE UNIT BIG MODEL
helpful resources in your binder

• act 10 reading and questions on climate 
• act. 6- sea and land breeze 
• act. 4 climate chart 
• act. 9 gulf stream and model 
• page 69 act. 13 cold and warm front 

Gulf Stream and ocean current model

Thursdays Classwork:

On white computer paper- (turn finished model into blue bin for a grade)

Model how Ocean Currents cause Climates using the GULF STREAM as your example

Gotta Have it List & other HINTS!

·         Warm and cold ocean currents cause warm/cold climates

·         Gulf Stream carries warm water from the tropics to Western Europe causing the weather in Western Europe (Paris, France) to be warmer and wetter.

·         Warm/cold ocean caused by direct/indirect sun rays

·         Warm/cold ocean currents caused by Coriolis Effect

·         Ocean currents & evaporation cause climates

·        Earth’s rotation causes à winds (Coriolis Effect) à ocean currents à warm and cold currents due to direct/indirect sunlight à evaporation à climates à weather patterns (warm/wet/cold/dry)

·        Use brain pop/act. 9 reading handout

·        Use Antoine and Maddie text thread

·        Ocean current world map and ocean temperature map

·        Book page 45 and 56

Back from Break! Almost done with weather unit!

Monday: ocean temperature map, convert temps and 2 questions in modeling NB, act. 6 and act. 7 rows in summary table
1. Where is the ocean the warmest?
WHY?

2. Where is the ocean the coldest?

WHY? 


Tuesday: ocean current world map (gulf stream, CA current), brainpop video, pen pal WS

Wednesday: half day- finish brainpop and gulf stream questions

gulf stream questions click below
act 9 gulf stream ques

Thursday: model the gulf stream and HOW OCEAN CURRENTS CAN CAUSE CLIMATES
What is climate?

Friday: act. 4 world climate chart


MONDAY, TUESDAY, WED next week = SBAC testing

RESEARCH in modeling NB

• What two surfaces make up Earth?
• What is wind? 
• Draw what causes wind. 
• What is high pressure?
• What is low pressure?
• What is a SEA BREEZE? *draw model
• What is a LAND BREEZE? *draw model
• How does wind cause weather? (hint- prevailing winds, write into google wind causing weather in Stamford,CT- think snow days in Stamford vs. Danbury) 
• jet stream? flying from CA to NY time
• what is the difference between a wind vane and an anemometer? 
• What is the Coriolis effect?
