This ActivInspire program reviews terms and concepts covered in Unit X lessons I & II on "Weather." 20 questions include multiple choice; true/false and numeric entries. ActivInspire review questions are based off the two PowerPoint lessons in Unit X "Weather." A PDF student worksheet/study guide can also be generated as a handout by using this program.

Terms/concepts in these lessons include:

weather, atmosphere, temperature, wind, air pressure, humidity, relative humidity, temperature scales, Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, weather vane, anemometer, dew point, cloud formation, water droplets, particulates, stratus, fog, cumulus, cirrus, cirro, alto, strato, nimbus, cumulonimbus, weather, air masses, air mass movement, high pressure systems, low pressure systems, cyclones, anti-cyclones, barometer, fronts, cold front, warm front, occluded front, stationary front, thunderstorms, cumulonimbus, lightning, thunder, tornado, updrafts, wind shear, funnel clouds, hail, Fujita scale, hurricanes, Saffir-Simpson scale, blizzard, National Weather Service (NWS), watches, warnings, severe weather

NGSSMS-ESS2-4

Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. Emphasis is on the ways water changes its state as it moves through the multiple pathways of the hydrologic cycle. Examples of models can be conceptual or physical. A quantitative understanding of the latent heats of vaporization and fusion is not assessed.

NGSSMS-ESS2-6

Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. Emphasis is on how patterns vary by latitude, altitude, and geographic land distribution. Emphasis of atmospheric circulation is on the sunlight-driven latitudinal banding, the Coriolis effect, and resulting prevailing winds; emphasis of ocean circulation is on the transfer of heat by the global ocean convection cycle, which is constrained by the Coriolis effect and the outlines of continents. Examples of models can be diagrams, maps and globes, or digital representations. Assessment does not include the dynamics of the Coriolis effect.

NGSSMS-ESS2-5

Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions. Emphasis is on how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure, causing weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind) at a fixed location to change over time, and how sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide. Emphasis is on how weather can be predicted within probabilistic ranges. Examples of data can be provided to students (such as weather maps, diagrams, and visualizations) or obtained through laboratory experiments (such as with condensation). Assessment does not include recalling the names of cloud types or weather symbols used on weather maps or the reported diagrams from weather stations.
