Fifth Graders,
We have been studying the water cycle and ways in which condensation, evaporation and precipitation work and how they can change their states of matter depending on the temperature around the water molecule. We also saw that surface area plays a role in how quickly water can evaporate when much of it is exposed to the air. Now we will become a Meteorologist! (You already are one actually.) Meteorology is the study of weather and a Meteorologist is someone who studies weather.
These are some of the vocabulary words we will be learning as Meteorologists:
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Gas
Liquid
Heat
Energy
Physical Change
Wind
Air
High Pressure
Low Pressure
Density
Molecules
