Content Objective
I can understand how Sea Breezes and Land Breezes are formed by creating a diagram using a teacher explanation, PowerPoint, video clips, and their text book.
E.ES.07.11 Describe the relationship between the warming of the atmosphere of the Earth by the Sun a
and convection within the atmosphere and oceans.
E.ES.07.13 Describe how the warming of the Earth by the Sun produces wind and ocean currents.
Language Objective
I will write to describe Sea Breezes and Land Breezes by completing the following sentence frames.
3. “Winds are generally named after______________________________________.”
4. “Sea Breezes are formed during ____________________ when the Sun is__________ and the _____________ is warmer than the ____________. This causes a ___________ current in which the air above the __________ rises and the cool air over the _________ moves in to take it’s place.”
5. “Land Breezes are formed during ____________________ when the Sun is__________ and the _____________ is warmer than the ____________. This causes a ___________ current in which the air above the __________ rises and the cool air over the _________ moves in to take it’s place.” “
6. A __________ breeze blows from the sea and a _________breeze blows from the land.”
HOMEWORK – Finish sentence frames
“Winds are generally named after the direction from which they come.”
“Sea Breezes are formed during daytime when the Sun is up/out and the land is warmer than the water. This causes a convection current in which the air above the land rises and the cool air over the water moves in to take it’s place.”
“Land Breezes are formed during night when the Sun is down and the water is warmer than the land. This causes a convection current in which the air above the water rises and the cool air over the land moves in to take it’s place.”
“A Sea breeze blows from the sea and a land breeze blows from the land.”
