Climate v. Weather

Today we discussed the difference between climate and weather. Here's an easy way to remember the difference: climate is what you expect and weather is what you get. We watched and discussed video clips on what causes the gulf stream and ocean temperatures and climate pattens. Lastly students saw several pictures to introduce them to the consequences of climate change.

Homework:

Part 1: Watch the animation from NASA on "Taking the Earth's Temperature." This may be slow to load so be patient! Write down three things your learned.

Part 2: Come up with a list of at least five consequences for climate change (hint: what will happen to the biome you did your project on? How will it affect oceans currents? etc...)
