1
Types of Weather

• Students will list types of weather and construct
  scenarios that may have caused each outcome.
  Students will also use a graph and map to assess
  the climate of the various parts of the Eastern
  Hemisphere.

2
Warm Up

• Create a list of various types of weather.

3
Homework

• Read pages 52-56 define the key terms
• Additional definitions tornado, hurricane and
  typhoon
• Identify the difference between hurricane and
  typhoon

Weather Fronts

• Front The place where two air masses of
  different temperatures meet is called a front.

World Climate Map

• Most of our studies this year will be based
  within the circle

8
Work Time

• MAP IS ON PAGES 12-13 OF THE ATLAS
• Group A Looking at the climate map identify the
  three most common types of climates you see.
• Group B Infer what kind of landforms may we see
  the most in our future studies.
• Group C Hypothesize What do you think will be a
  common struggle we will see with the people we
  study in this region.
