To be honest, I am still struggling with the way Wile has organized the whole air/atmosphere/weather units. I am going to rearrange things a little bit here, and instead of covering atmospheric pressure first, I am going to cover the layers of the atmosphere and from there go to weather which will include atmospheric pressure.
I was gone all weekend, so will finish the lesson plans for the rest of the week tonight. This should get us through the day.
Monday: pg. 62-76 layers of the atmosphere. Watch videos of the layers of the atmosphere. Draw in notebook the layers and what occurs in each layer. Note that no other resource I've come across calls this the homosphere.
Tuesday: Aurora video from NASA.
Wednesday: plot where to see auroras on map. See Dancing in the Night Sky activity
Thursday: make a magnetometer to measure solar storms. See magnetometer activity.
Friday: Notebooking activity. Take picture of sky and note the kind of clouds. Do this every day for two weeks. Watch Bill Nye the Science Guy video on the atmosphere. We got ours from the library.
AFTER REMARKS
Bill Nye Atmosphere was not as good as his other videos. I wouldn't watch it again.
Dancing in the Night sky worked out well, along with the mapping aurora activity from NASA.
Structure of the atmosphere was worth watching.
RESOURCES
NASA solar storm math activity
make a magnetometer-measure solar storms- NASA
Links to atmosphere and weather lessons, worksheets and videos
video and interactive links to the atmosphere. Nova segments
NASA links on the atmosphere
Video on the structure of the atmosphere.
Activity to go with NASA video "Dancing in the Night Sky"
