Weather Map Gizmo
1) The weather today is clear skies with temperatures around the 60's.
2) It is important to include the cloud cover, temperature, and wind.
Gizmo Warm up:
1) 25% cloud cover
2) Southwest
3) 25 knots
Activity A (High pressure systems):
1) A: I notice that the pressure went up as you move toward the center of the high-pressure system.
B: I think its a high pressure system because the closer you go towards the center, the higher the pressure goes.
2) I don't any clouds near the high pressure system. The skies are completely clear because it is a high pressure system.

4) A: It is clockwise
B: It is strongest from the northeast and southeast.
Activity B:
1) A: The more you go into the low pressure system, the lower the pressure goes.
B: It is called a low pressure system because it is the area of the lowest pressure in the area.
2) There is many clouds cover near the low-pressure system.

5) A: Counterclockwise
B: From the west

Activity 3:
1)
2) Cold fronts all leave cold temperature behind them and they head towards warmer temperatures. Cold fronts usually have snow.
3) Clouds form behind the cold front because the cold front is a higher pressure than the other air around it. Also, the clouds form behind a cold front is because the cold front is moves faster than clouds can occur.

5) Warm fronts all leave behind warm temperatures and they head towards places with colder temperatures. Also, warm fronts usually have light to moderate rain.
6) Clouds form in front of warm fronts because the warm air is pushed upwards and it condenses, therefore making clouds.

7) When a warm front is passing by, the weather is light rain with high humdity. There is low pressure during a warm front. Also, the temperature gets about slowly warmer. When a cold front is passing by, the weather is usually clear skies due to the fact that it is a high pressure system. Also, there is a big temperature drop and there is usually wind blowing in from the north.
