CHAPTER 3 INVESTIGATION QUESTION

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

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.

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!

Check For Understanding: Condensation mostly happens higher in the atmosphere or lower in the atmosphere? Explain your answer.

Results from the Experiment

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.
