Teacher Name: | Catherine Joyner |
Grade: | Grade 7-8 |
Subject: | Science |
Topic: | Earth's Atmosphere |

Goals: | 1. Explain why different latitudes on Earth receive different amounts of solar energy. 2. Describe the Coriolis effect. 3. Explain how land and water surfaces affect the overlying air |
Objectives: | 3.01: Explain the composition, properties and structure of the atmospherel: as altitkude increases, air pressure decreases: Equilibrium 3.05: Examine evidence that atmosphere properties can be studied to predict atmospheric conditions and weather hazards: Wind speed and direction. |
Materials: | Science Text book, overhead transparency Activity p. 42 Overhead |
Introduction: | introduce Terms - Vocabulary 1. Write definitions 2. make flash cards for 9/16 words |
Development: | Read and discuss Reading on pages 455 - 459 Page 463 Science and Language Arts. - Song of the Sky Loom |

Accommodations: | Mariah, Justin will work with an assistant or another student, or teacher Teacher will read materials (will call on some students to read) Write down page number that student will find the answers to questions. Hve students answer only two of 5 question (16-20) |
Checking For Understanding: | Discussion with students during the reading Graded Chapter review questions Graded Test for 1st 9 vocabulary words Graed test for nent 7 words. |

Teacher Reflections: | Using the text book can be a little trying. I must read and explain to students the subject matter. I must break every thing down into small section so that the students will be able to complete the work assigned. |
