|
Expected Outcome Of This Lesson Plan-
|
1. Identify Heat Transfer Systems.
2. Name climate type and distribution.
3. Identify Ocean-atmosphere-land interactions. |
| |
|
Teacher Objectives-
|
1.The student will describe how energy and matter transfer affect Earth systems.
2.The student will explain how global conditions are affected when natural and human-induced change alter the transfer of energy and matter. |

Teaching Methods-
|
|
1. Lesson Introduction-
| Introduce the topic, lecture on the heat transfer systems, climate type and distribution, and ocean-atmosphere-land interactions. |
| |
|
|
2. Lesson Progression-
| Make a poster/drawing demonstrating the Coriolis Effect and how it relates to heat transfer systems. |
| |
|
|
3. Guided Practice-
| Write a poem describing the stages of El Niño and La Niña and the effect they have on the climate. |
| |
|
|
4. Student Practice-
| Review heat transfer systems by identifying them on a worksheet. Also, create a graph of temperature around the world during times of El Niño and La Niña. |
| |
|
|
5. Learner Accommodations-
| Perform a short skit incorporating El Niño, La Niña, and the Coriolis Effect, and how they would interact with the Earth. |
| |
|
|
6. Assessment-
Create a song to remember the different heat transfer systems.(conduction/convection/radiation, phase change, latent heat, pressure gradients, general global circulation, Coriolis effect)
|
| |
|
|
7. Lesson Closure-
| Work in groups to discuss the differences between the different ways El Niño, La Niña, and the Coriolis Effect, and how they change the Earth. |
| |
|
Measuring Student Progress-
|
| Take a short quiz to check the students for understanding of heat transfer systems, climate type and distribution, and ocean-atmosphere-land interactions. |
