2-16-2018 Make Up Day and CODING!

Do any missing or incomplete assignments in Amplify. Look at PowerSchool to see what is missing.

Look at any comments for our writing assignment 274 and make revisions. It’s work a lot of points.

Hints:

1. Explain what happens to energy when it hits carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen.
2. Explain the importance of the amounts of energy entering and exiting the Earth's atmosphere and how that affects global temperature.
3. Explain that when energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface it changes to heat. What happens when more energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface?
4. Next: Explain the DIFFERENCE between fluctuation and trend using examples from the graph.

1. Go to Climate 312
Click here Learning.amplify.com

• Population. This slider changes the number of people on Earth. Right now, about 7 billion people live on Earth.
• Combustion per Person. This slider represents the average amount of combustion from each person on Earth. Combustion includes engines (cars) and the way most electrical energy is produced. (The video in the next activity will go into more depth about combustion.) The medium setting in the Sim models the current level of combustion per person.
• Livestock per Person. Livestock are farm animals that humans raise and use, such as cows and sheep, and this represents the average number of these animals for each person on Earth. The animals are raised for meat, milk, wool, and more. The medium setting in the Sim models the current amount of livestock per person.
• Forest Cover. This represents how much of the Earth’s land is covered by forest. The low setting in the Sim models the current amount of forest.
• Gas Capture. Technologies are being developed to trap gases as they are released from factories or other sources. These technologies are just beginning to be used. The low setting models the current amount of gas capture.

2. Review your grades in PowerSchool. Look at any comments for our writing assignment from Friday and make revisions.

2-13-2018 Review Carbon Dioxide and Methane effect on energy.

Today's Activities
Take out notebooks for review of Carbon Dioxide and Methane effect on energy.

2-9-2018 Climate 274 Write UP

Using the Sim, we discovered, Carbon dioxide and methane stop energy from leaving by redirecting energy that would have exited the system. 

This leads to less energy exiting the Earth system, so more energy enters than exits. 


We also know that when more energy enters than exits, there is more energy in the system and more energy can be absorbed by the surface, so temperature increases.

Today, we will write a report that answers the Chapter 2 Question, Why does temperature increase when carbon dioxide or methane increases?

1. First you create a diagram/model to show how Nitrogen DOES NOT affect the path of energy and how Carbon Dioxide DOES affect the path of energy. Use the MODELING TOOL 272 to create a diagram that looks like the one below. Be sure to HAND IN.

2. Then click next and make a similar diagram for METHANE. Hand in!

3. Then go to 274 and write your report! Be sure to use ALL of the words from the word bank: atmosphere, carbon dioxide, energy, methane, redirect, surface, temperature.

Hints: 

Explain what happens to energy when it hits carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen. 

Explain the importance of the amounts of energy entering and exiting the Earth's atmosphere and how that affects global temperature.

Explain that when energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface it changes to heat. What happens when more energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface?
