live?
Explain the importance of Earth’s stratosphere.
Bag Toss Challenge!
Which layer protects us from meteoroids?
Bag Toss Challenge!Which layer has the
highest temperature in any of the layers of our
atmosphere?
List the layers of the atmosphere (in order)
from outer space, inward.
Define air pressure.
Explain the process that causes air pressure.
If the air pressure on Earth is equal to the weight of a car, how
come we are not crushed by it?
Bag Toss Challenge!
Explain what the molecules of a gas are actually doing? How do they physically cause
pressure?
Explain why on a sunny day there is high
pressure, and why on a cloudy day there is low
pressure.
Clouds are made of___________.
What type of cloud is this?
It is a sunny day, but tomorrow there is expected to be a
