Part 4

Your next task will be to construct a poster that shows what you have learned. Your poster should have the following things:

  • Describe the job of a meteorologist in a short paragraph.  Draw and label tools they use and the skills they must have.  Use the Internet, encyclopedia, or other reference materials if necessary.
  • Draw a diagram of the earth which shows the jet streams and the effects of the Coriolis force.  Use the information you learned in Part 1 and Part 2.  Label and explain your diagram.
  • Find a weather map in a newspaper or on the internet.  Paste it on the poster and label the areas of high and low air pressure.  Draw arrows which show the direction the wind is moving.
  • Cut pictures from a magazine which illustrate the idea of momentum (for example, a figure skater or the movement of swinging balls).  Paste them to the poster.  Be prepared to explain how the pictures show momentum.
  • Be sure to make a colorful and creative title for your poster and include the names of all the group members on your poster.
