Conclusion Statements:
I would describe the movement of the lava
by saying….
When the lava was next to the hot lamp, it
began to (rise/fall).
When the lava reached the top of the lava
lamp, it began to (rise/fall.)
The temperature at the top of the lava lamp
was (cooler/hotter) than the temperature at
the bottom of the lava lamp.

What Causes Wind?
Bill Nye’s Explains Wind in 2 minutes!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqohRu2RRk&feature=related
Bill didn’t use the word “convection”…
but he described it!
How did he demonstrate convection?
CONVECTION
transfer of heat by the movement of
warmed matter; hot air/water rises,
cool air/water sinks
Hot Air is Less Dense! (so it rises)
• Turn to your partner and answer the question:
“What is wind?”
“What causes the wind to blow?”
• Together, select the explanation you both
think is the most accurate.
• Share with the class!
CONVECTION
Moves air in the atmosphere!
CONVECTION
causes deep
ocean currents!
CONVECTION
Wind over the
shore changes
direction
because of
EARTH’S
UNEVEN
WARMING &
COOLING!
• Turn to your partner and answer the question:
“How are the atmosphere and oceans
related?”
“Does the sun warm the earth evenly
or unevenly? How do you know?
• Together, select the explanation you both
think is the most accurate.
• Share with the class!
Sun Notebook Poster

Create a 1-page poster in your notebook.
1. Make 8 sun rays.
2. For each sun ray include one way that the sun affects the
oceans and /or atmosphere.
The sun drives
convection by
the
heating of
earth’s
atmosphere.

2. Look at the data recorded as a hurricane passes over
land. What conclusions can you draw when comparing
hurricane data and a hurricane's location over land or
water?
