Jumpstarters for Meteorology
Just as warm-up exercises can help an athlete prepare for a race, these short, daily warm-up activities will aid students in preparing for the day's lessons with challenging activities relating to meteorology and climate. In Jumpstarters for Meteorology, the reproducible activities can be used separately day-by-day; as transparencies; as a useful aid to reinforce the week's lessons; for whole-class lessons; given as a whole sheet to be kept in a student's binder; or for something to keep on hand in a learning center for students who have extra time. Topics covered in this book include the atmosphere, air pressure, heat, winds, the water cycle, air masses and fronts, precipitation, storms, weather prediction, weather instruments, weather myths and folklore, and climate. Reproducible maps and diagrams are included. Answer keys are provided at the back of the book.
