III. Procedures:
B. Review
Did you think that the air around us has
its weight? Yes Ma’am.
C. Motivation
We will have a spelling today, get a ¼
sheet of paper.
D. Presentation
1. Activity
Watch a video about Atmospheric
Pressure: Definition and Effects.
What is atmospheric pressure? The air’s mass produces a downward force that
exerts pressure on the surface of the Earth. The
pressure exerted by air is called atmospheric
pressure.
What unit is atmospheric pressure
measured in?
Does the air weigh at sea level?
What is the atmospheric pressure at
sea level?
2. Analysis
What are the two determining factors
for atmospheric pressure?
3. Application
How are we affected by atmospheric
motion?
4. Abstraction
IV. Evaluation
1. What is atmospheric pressure?
2. How will you differentiate maritime and continental air masses?
3. What happens to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude is going up?
4. What is the relationship of atmospheric pressure, altitude and temperature?
5. What is the movement of cool and warm air?
