Final Exam Review Packet






Parents: A handful of students are at risk for missing out on the end of year field day and grade 6 picnic based on their high number of tardies to classes, Failing grades, and behavior referrals. If your child is on this "at risk" list, we sent home a letter and grade sheets for you to sign and return. After school homework support ends on May 30th (AST last day). Advisory will be coming back next week. We are tracking improvements for the next 4 weeks and will check in with these students on June 5th.

Thanks!
A Team Teachers

weather: local; current state; changes frequently; temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, humidity, hurricanes, high pressure, low pressure, tornado, cold front, warm front
causes: Atlantic ocean- warm oceans, evaporation, Rocky Mountains cold air and Gulf of Mexico warm air--> tornado alley; wind; sea breeze/land breeze; land heats and cools fast; water holds onto the heat

climate: weather over 30+ years; temperature and precipitation; mild, polar, tropical, dry, severe, highland, equator, tropics, ocean temperatures;

causes: ocean currents; direct/indirect heat thermal energy from sun; rainshadow effect; poles/equator; tropic of cancer/capricorn; latitude, gulf stream, Coriolis Effect
