 Review both your notes and the links under each lesson on our wikisite.
 Also review any videos or explorations taken in discovery education.
Lesson 1: What is Air page 174
The natural movement of air parallel to Earth’s surface is what scientists call WIND.
First Nations and Metis recognize and respect the power of wind to dry animals hides and skin used to make traditional clothing and blankets.
Recall our Warm Air Rises and Cool Air Sinks Experiment. Review your notes and describe what happened to the balloon when immersed in cold water, compared to warm water?
Lesson 2: Energy from the Sun page 177
Sun hits Earth in different ways because the Earth moves around the sun. Near the equator, sunlight is spread over a small area. At the North Pole sunlight is spread over a large area.
Thermometer- As temperature rises, the liquid heats up and expands, which means it rises in the tube.

Lesson 3-4: What do Clouds tell us about weather? Page 181
Water is very important for Earth's climate. It evaporates from the oceans and rises into the atmosphere. It then condenses to form different kinds of clouds. Precipitation from clouds falls in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail.
See CLOUD WATCH on DISCOVERY EDUCATION to review.
Cirrus Clouds- thin and look like curls of hair, cirrus = curl
Cumulus Clouds- look puffy, like a pile of cotton balls and have flat bottoms. Cumulus = heap
Stratus Clouds- flat and form layers low in the sky, when they touch the ground they are called fog. Stratus = “spread out.”
Lesson 5-6: Weather instruments page 184 + 188 More Instruments
Meteorology- the study of weather, a meteorologist studies, predicts or forecasts weather

Thunderstorms-
Floods-
Drought-
Hurricanes-
Tornadoes-
Weather Vane-(wind vane) shows the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Anemometer-measures the speed of the wind, we used a protractor with a golf ball to determine this!
Air pressure- weight of air pushing down on Earth
Barometer- measure air pressure, we used a glass bottle with a balloon and straw attached!
Lesson 7: What helps us predict the weather? Page 195
Radar- a device that uses radio waves to locate objects. The waves bounce off of precipitation and the information is sent back to as a picture to the radio station.
Weather balloons- Environment Canada uses these twice a day; the equipment on the balloon carries measures air temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind.
Lesson 8-9: Can you predict the Weather? Page 202 + Recall YOUR Weather Maps you made on SMART!
Weather Maps summarize weather information in different locations using symbols. H- high pressure
“Happy weather”, L-low pressure “Lousy weather”. Cloud, Rain, Snow, Thunderstorm and Sunshine symbols are used along with the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Lesson 10-12: Severe Weather Pages 204-206 + Discovery Education Video
