TES 3.1: Investigating Where Raindrops Form
1

What phase of matter are the molecules in this model

1

What phase of matter are the molecules in this model

1

Molecules get closer together when the temperature gets _____________

1

Molecules get closer together during which phase change?

1

Based on what we know so far, why is more rain forming over West Ferris than East Ferris?

CHAPTER 3 INVESTIGATION QUESTION

Why is more water vapor getting cold over West Ferris than East Ferris?

1

What do you notice about the temperatures of East Ferris and West Ferris?

Sentence starter: The temperatures of East Ferris and West Ferris are _______________

These temperatures are measured at Earth’s surface, which is the bottom of the atmosphere. Today, we’ll investigate the atmosphere to see how it could be influencing the weather in East Ferris and West Ferris.
Condensation in the Atmosphere Models

We’re going to create models of two different heights in the atmosphere to think about what happens to water vapor up high in the atmosphere compared to lower down in the atmosphere.

Make a prediction! What do you think will happen in the models and why?

Reading About the Atmosphere
Directions: Read the page on the bottom from Water Encyclopedia to find information about temperatures in the atmosphere!

Important thing to know, just ONE kilometer is about 3,280 feet or the length of about 11 football fields!
1

Check For Understanding:

What happens to the temperature as it gets higher into the atmosphere?

0

What evidence in the text or model supports this claim/answer?

In the text it says ______

In the model it shows ______

Criteria For Success:
  • Think of the temperature when condensation happens
  • Identify the part of the atmosphere where that water vapor condenses
  • Explain why water vapor will condense at that part of the atmosphere.
