Competency Goals:: 3: The learner will conduct investigations and utilize appropriate technologies and information systems to build an understanding of the atmosphere.
Objectives:
3.01: Explain the composition, properties and structure of the atmosphere:
Mixture of gases.
Stratified layers.
Each layer has distinct properties.
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases.
Equilibrium. 3.02: Describe properties that can be observed and measured to predict air quality:
Particulate matter.
Ozone. 3.03: Conclude that the good health of environments and organisms requires:
The monitoring of air quality.
Taking steps to maintain healthy air quality.
Stewardship. 3.04: Evaluate how humans impact air quality including:
Air quality standards.
Point and non-point sources of air pollution in North Carolina.
Financial and economic trade-offs.
Local air quality issues. 3.05: Examine evidence that atmospheric properties can be studied to predict atmospheric conditions and weather hazards:
Humidity.
Temperature.
Wind speed and direction.
Air pressure.
Precipitation.
Tornados.
Hurricanes.
Floods.
Storms. 3.06: Assess the use of technology in studying atmospheric phenomena and weather hazards:
Satellites.
Weather maps.
Predicting.
Recording.
Communicating information about conditions.
