Earth /Environmental Weather Project
Written projects due On different days as listed for each part
Oral Presentations due : TBA
Introduction:There are phenomena that occur in our atmosphere that influence the environment and have an economic impact on planet Earth. The study of this
phenomenon (weather) is a large part of Earth Science called Meteorology. Weather is the current state of the atmosphere and all the variables that can take place
over minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months. This Weather Project will investigate, analyze, and research different aspects of the weather. Students will
research the interaction of several atmospheric factors such as heat energy, air pressure, air currents and moisture. The following is general outline of each part
of the weather project. All criteria for grades are based on minimal work to obtain a C grade in between 84-77%. All pages (except the poster/multimedia
presentation) will be placed in a three-ring notebook. Organization, creativity, and neatness will be 5% of the total grade.
