Droehm Team:
Learning Is a Journey
Quest 1: What drives the weather?
Q1P1: Self Assess
1. Get the Cells Learning Target Page from the front table. (It looks like this)
2. Read the skills and the bullet points associated with them. Then, self assess using S, M, P, and L.
3. Remember to self assess on the FRONT and BACK of the page.
4. Clip the paper in your binder so you don't lose it!
Show Mrs. Roehm your Learning Target Page and tell her the target you already know the most about and the target you are most excited to learn about.
Q1P2: Heat Transfer Labs
Complete the Heat Transfer Labs by following these Directions/Procedures.
As you complete the labs, complete this google form. You can review this slide deck for information about Conduction, Convection and Radiation.

Q1P3: Discovery Ed
1. Login to your Discovery Ed account. You will be answering 6 questions in total.
2. Complete the Engage Section: "Exploring how the Sun, Wind, and Water Relate" assignment from your dashboard. (There are 3 questions - Heating Water, Solar Energy Distribution, and Water Cycle) You do not need to do the writing question. You do not have to read the text (unless you need a refresher!). Here are the two pages of notes Mrs. Roehm used in class. They may help you with the answers:
- M Solar Energy Notes
- Water Cycle Notes Page
3. Then, complete the question at the bottom of the "Explore" Section 1 (Water Cycle Model).
4. Then, complete the 2 questions at the BOTTOM of the "Explore" Section 2 (The Trade Winds and Energy and Water). TIP for Explore Section 2: Low pressure = warmer, rising air and High Pressure = colder, sinking air
4. Make sure to check the the submit button after every question.
5. Be sure to look at your feedback after you submit each question.
​
Ask Mrs. Roehm any questions you have on the ones you got wrong. If you don't have any questions, just move onto the next post. Mrs. Roehm can sign for Post 3 when you check in Post 4.
Q1P4: How do clouds form?
Watch this video to learn about how clouds form.

​
​
Then, on a piece of paper, write the steps of how a cloud forms.
Show Mrs. Roehm your paper with the written steps. You will keep these as notes to study from.
Q1P5: Dew The Dew
Before doing the labs, Read this text about humidity and dew point.
After reading the document, complete the lab procedure below for Dew the Dew and All Bottled Up.
Procedure for Dew the Dew:
1. Fill the can about halfway with room-temperature water. Make sure the outside of the can is dry.
2. Place the thermometer in the can and record the temperature.
3. Add a few ice cubes. Carefully watch the outside of the can to become "cloudy" (like if you wiped your finger on it, it would make a line in the water or your finger would become wet). At the very first moment you notice the "cloudiness," record the temperature. This is the dew point temperature. If the can does not become cloudy within a couple of minutes, add more ice cubes until you see the condensation form.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 OUTSIDE in the courtyard. If it doesn't get "cloudy" outside, you may have to add more ice cubes than you had to add inside.
5. Record the temperature.
All Bottled Up! Procedure:
1. Fill the 2-liter bottle one-third of warm water.
3. Light a match (Wearing goggles of course!) and hold the match near the opening of the bottle.
4. Drop the match in the bottle and quickly put on the cap. Make sure you trap the smoke inside the bottle.
5. Slowly squeeze the bottle hard and release. Observe. You can watch this video to see what should happen.
6. Once you have formed your cloud inside the bottle, take the cap off of the bottle and slowly squeeze. You should see a cloud coming out of the bottle!
