Happy New Year and Welcome back!
Today we went over and corrected our quizzes and made some updates to our climate graphs (particularly adding the labels to the axises and then ensuring we answer the following:
Ensure the graphs are fully labelled.
Decide which climate graph represents a region under:
The Hadley Cell
The Ferrel Cell
The Polar Cell
Make sure you write an explanation as to why you made your choice.
If you need to access the climate graph data please see this post.
From here we did our weather readings and some notes on: humidity, relative humidity, dew point as we are moving towards looking at clouds and cloud formation tomorrow.
We watched these two videos to help us understand the difference between dew point and relative humidity.

Mr. von Hagel was in for me today. Here is what went on:
-weather readings
-Review notes from yesterday on dew point, humidity etc…from start of slides you have.
-watch second video on dew point vs relative humidity, briefly discuss
-notes on condensation and cloud creation, watch videos, have students do cloud sheet
-storms, brainstorm what types they can think of, have them complete chart on p. 281 in text
Wednesday Jan. 8th
Today we started with weather readings and recording and then there was a bit more time to finish the chart on page 281. We reviewed the details, talked a bit about tropical storms and where they occur and the difference between the ITCZ (Inter continental convergence zone), the mid latitudes and polar regions and related these to the atmospheric circulation cells.
We watched these two videos to help our understanding:

In the second half we watched "an inconvenient truth" we got to about 40ish minutes with discussion. This is a 2006 documentary so made before you were born, it is startling how long they have been studying climate change and how little has been done! We are using this as a jumping off point for a little project we are starting next week. We will have a Friday 5 on Friday.
Just a note our final exam is on: Friday Jan. 24th and it will be based on the Geographic Thinking Concepts.
