This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: EYEPOD Weather and Climate July 2010, Learning Activities include Community Site Mitigation Plans, Learning Activities include GIS Skills Practice, Learning Activities include Lecture/teacher presentation, Learning Activities include Simulations, GIS Skills Practice including Watershed Investigation, GIS Skills Practice including Sibling Rivalry, Learning Activities build Content Objectives/Conceptual Understandings Students will be able to: • Identify what might affect climate and weather in a particular region in a written analysis of data displayed in a GIS • Describe the relationship between prevailing winds and global ocean currents and variations in temperature and rainfall patterns in a written analysis of data displayed in a GIS • Describe the transfer of solar energy throughout the Earth System through drawings and written descriptions • Explain relationships between pressure, volume, humidity, density, and temperature in a written analysis of experimental data • Describe what might affect how a stream system behaves or where a watershed begins and ends, GIS Skills Practice including Seasonal Differences, Learning Activities include Pressure, Moisture, Convection activities, GIS Skills Practice including Running Hot and Cold, Content Objectives/Conceptual Understandings Students will be able to: • Identify what might affect climate and weather in a particular region in a written analysis of data displayed in a GIS • Describe the relationship between prevailing winds and global ocean currents and variations in temperature and rainfall patterns in a written analysis of data displayed in a GIS • Describe the transfer of solar energy throughout the Earth System through drawings and written descriptions • Explain relationships between pressure, volume, humidity, density, and temperature in a written analysis of experimental data • Describe what might affect how a stream system behaves or where a watershed begins and ends as evidenced through Ultimate Goals Students will be able to: • Module One: Prepare a detailed presentation describing the types of outdoor activities available at a particular time of year for a region of the world they plan to visit based on weather they might expect based on climate patterns • Module Two: Suggest a sustainable community plan that can be addressed by engineers to mitigate the effects of climate change in the short and long term precipitation, weather, availablility of ground water, and present it to local stakeholders • Module Three: Analyze data collected across the region to develop a regional plan to deal with the effects of climate change in the long term and present to stakeholders. Students collaborate via Web 2.0 to share data, solutions, ideas. Option 2 – Use the posted data in a meaningful way and only teachers collaborate, Learning Activities include Research, GIS Skills Practice including Windblown, Learning Activities include Stream Table Models, Learning Activities include Travel Plans, Learning Activities include Readings provided by instructor, Learning Activities include Field Data Collection
