1 Severe Weather and weather mapping Remediation Assignment Part I: Complete the remediation page attached This will be a single page (front and back) that helps your organize the most important information from this chapter. As you can see, the outline for what should be included on your page is already there for you! Once your page is completed, you will need to visit with Mrs. Blinka, so she can make sure you have the information on your graphic correct and you are ready to use it as a study tool! Once the page has been approved, Mrs. Blinka will sign here: Part II: Teaching is Learning One of the best ways to learn something new is to teach it to someone else. You.must teach the material on your remediation page to someone else. This may be a classmate, friend, family member, or another teacher. You should study the information before you teach it. Be ready sure to answer your student s questions. Do not read off of the Remediation Packet - give it to your student so they can check your explanations as you teach! Note to your study partner Thank you for agreeing to help! Your job is very important to the learning process. Please ask questions of your teacher if something seems unclear. They will learn best if they have to explain ideas to you. You should use the completed remediation page to check their explanations and help you ask questions. If they make a mistake, try to avoid telling them exactly what they did wrong. Ask questions that will help them think it through the information! Please fill out the information below once you feel like you understand more about air pressure and hurricanes and your teacher is ready for their quiz! taught me about the Severe Weather and Weather Maps STUDENTS NAME I feel that they demonstrated an understanding of the material on the Remediation Packet and were able to explain it to me, without reading from the remediation sheet.

3 THUNDERSTROMS TORNADOES FLASH FLOODS WINTER STORMS Type of Front Cold Warm Occluded Stationary Describe the Weather along the Front

4 What: Weather Satellite Collecting Data About Weather What: Weather Station What: Weather Balloon What: Doppler Radar Add the symbols for the cloud cover (color in the circles), the fronts, and the pressure systems Answer the questions and complete the tasks below based on the map above. 1. Circle any warm fronts in RED 2. Circle any cold fronts in BLUE 3. Add arrows to each front to show which direction it is moving. 4. Add arrows around any low and high pressure systems to show the direction of wind movement. 5. What type of cloud cover is San Francisco experiencing? 6. What type of front just passed Charlotte? 7. Which pressure system has better weather around it? 8. What type of weather should the Outer Banks of NC expect tomorrow? 9. What type of cloud cover is Houston, TX experiencing? 10. Add in a stationary front over Albuquerue. Color the warm air mass behind it red and the cold air mass blue (you may pick where the cold and warm are, but make sure the air masses you draw match the frontal boundary you drew) Draw and label a weather sation plot with winds out of the South West, temp = 70 F, Rain, heavy cloud cover

5 During SWAMP TIME: Visit the Website: Create a weather map that shows the following things occurring: A cold in Michigan that came down from Canada Show the type of precipitation that would be occurring along the front if the temperature in Michigan is 28 F Add an occluded front moving out of Florida towards the Atlantic Ocean Add precipitation that might be occurring along the occluded front if the temperature is 60 F Add a warm front moving from Texas into Louisiana Add precipitation that might be occurring along the warm front if the temperature is 72 F Add a stationary front at the Missouri TN/KY border - the warm air mass is centered over Tennessee, the cold air mass is centered over Missouri Add precipitation that might be occurring along the stationary front if the temperature is 43 F
