1 Where's the Really Bad Weather 1 Hurricanes What: Rotating wind/rain storm Winds from 75 to 200 mph As big as 600 miles wide Where: Start over oceans, fizzle out over land Investigation 1 What is Weather? When: Between June and November

2 Where's the Really Bad Weather 2 Blizzards What: Snow storm with high winds Winds from 30 to 60 mph Over big or small area Where: Usually over land Sometimes over ocean When: Between October and May in Northern H. Between May and October in Southern H. Investigation 1 What is Weather?

3 Where's the Really Bad Weather 3 Property Hurricane Blizzard Why? Wind speed Typical location Time of year Investigation 1 What is Weather?

4 Compare Particle Models Solid 4 The particles that make up a solid move slowly, so the attractions between particles pull them very close together. Each particle is held in place by the particles around it. As a result, particles of solids can vibrate and spin in place, but they can t move out of position. Investigation 2 Where's the Air?

5 Compare Particle Models Liquid 5 The particles that make up a liquid move faster than the particles of solids. The attractions between particles hold them near each other, but the particles are able to slide past each other and move around. The particles move randomly. Each particle moves in a straight line until it hits another particle or some other object, then it bounces off in a different direction. It is impossible to predict the path a given particle will follow, because it depends on the movements and positions of all the other particles. Investigation 2 Where's the Air?

6 Compare Particle Models Gas 6 The particles that make up a gas move very fast. They move so fast that the attractions between particles have little effect. The particles move away from each other and spread out in all directions, so gases contain a lot of empty space. As in liquids, the movement of gas particles is random. Each particle moves in a straight line until it hits something and changes direction. The difference is that gas particles move very fast and bounce wildly in all directions. Investigation 2 Where's the Air?

7 Compare Particle Models 7 Data Table solid liquid gas Is it made up of particles? Are the particles moving? If so, how fast do they move? Do the particles move from place to place or do they move in one place? If they move from place to place, is the movement random or does it follow a pattern? Do the particles attract each other? If so, what effect do the attractions have on the particles? Investigation 2 Where's the Air?
