Meteorology and Climate Change Review Game

• How to play…– Don’t play like Jeo_ _ _ _ y.– Class should be divided into several small

groups.– Groups should use science journal (red slide

notes), homework, and other available materials to assist you.

– Groups can communicate quietly with each other but no sharing answers between groups.• Practice quietly communicating right now?• Practice Communication Question:• Your group gets to order one pizza and you can

have two toppings. What does your group want?

Questions 1-20 = 5pts EachFinal Category (Bonus) = 1pt Each

Final Questions = 5 pt wagerIf you wager 5 on the last question and get it wrong you lose

5 pts. Wager 5 and get it right you get 5 pts.

Find the Owl = Secretly write “Owl” in the correct box

worth 1pt.

“I’ll be about this big.”

• Is your name on the review sheet?

• This device measures…

• This is a rain gauge and it measures the amount of rainfall.

• These are two other ways to collect weather data?

• This is a weather map linking all points of equal or constant temperature.

• Snow / rain equivalent = • One inch of rain is about 10 inches of

snow and vice versa.

• In order to understand climate change, you must also understand…

A.) The Cryoshpere (ice and snow)B.) LandC.) OceansD.) AtmosphereE.) All of the above

• Anthropogenic Global Warming has everything to do with the Carbon Atom.– The carbon atom is a part of Carbon Dioxide

gas which is a major greenhouse gas.– CO2 helps trap heat.

• All of the following are natural sources that can change the climate except…

• A.) Volcanoes: They release sulfur dioxide and dust particles that can reflect light.

• B.) Changes in Solar Radiation from the Sun.• C.) The burning of coal and other fossil fuels by

humans.• D.) Clouds: They reflect light back into space

before it reaches the surface.• E.) Natural plant and animal decay.

• There is natural carbon dioxide oxygen balance on our planet.– Name the two terms?

• Increases in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere traps in more of the earth’s radiant heat causing the planet to warm.

C.) Long droughts and intense heat waves.

D.) Slow ecological changes.

E.) Economic consequences.

Final Question

“This is a 5 pt wager question.”

• When the ice caps melt, less light is reflected back into space, the planet then warms faster. Arctic swamps then begin to decay releasing methane gas. – 100 times worse than a CO2 Molecule.
