SO3. Students will
analyze how weather and
climate are influenced by
the oceans.
c. Describe the effects of
tilt of the earth, solar
energy inputs, and heat
capacity of land and oceans
on the resulting patterns of
weather and climate.
SO3. Students will analyze
how weather and climate are
influenced by the oceans.
a. Identify general global
patterns of atmospheric and
oceanic circulation including
variations such as El Nino and

Methods
 Go over test #3
 Finish summarizing the
greenhouse effect and
ocean activities from
Friday
 Coriolis effect
(internet activity with
handout), need
headphones
(computer lab)
 Give notes on Coriolis
effect, use globes as
demo and watch
video (8m)
 Wind, Pressure
gradients, land v.
sea breezes (notes)
 Check homework
 Review pressure
gradients (water v.
land)
 Begin Making winds
foldable/booklet (each
page/box must address
wind topic) (guidelines
provided on power
point in class)
 Atmosphere Quiz
 Give notes on global
circulation
 Work on wind foldable
