Exciting Earth Science: Meteorology Part 2 - Weather, Seasons, Wind, Climate & Tornadoes

Meterology Part 2 focuses on weather patterns, starting with the basics of isobars & how wind forms. We then look at more complex weather events such as warm & cold fronts & tornadoes. Attending Part 1 first is recommended but not essential.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS INTRO ▬▬▬▬▬
Welcome to the "Exciting Earth Science" series, which focuses on the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it. My classes focus on the Geology, Meteorology, Oceonography and Physcial Geography of the Earth Science carriculum. No previous experience necessary.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬
In this class we look at more complex weather patterns by building up from the basics by looking at isobars and wind patterns. Then we discuss simple weather formations before looking at extreme weather events like tornadoes.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS STYLE  ▬▬▬▬▬
I use PowerPoint presentations for all my classes, so I can mix text and multimedia and make the class more interesting. This class will be run using an "intro-discussion-repeat" format. This means I will take a few minutes to introduce a topic, using images or videos wherever appropriate in order to bring the subject alive. Then we will pause to discuss what we have learnt briefly and take questions and make sure everyone is keeping up. Then we'll move on to the next exciting sub-topic and supporting material, and then pause for discussion after that one too. This means that you can enjoy the class however you like. Speak up and get involved in the discussions, or just listen and enjoy with no pressure. If you like this class then you check out my full "Exciting Earth Science" course, with subjects cherry picked to choose the most interesting, accessible and relevant Earth Science subjects for kids, so they learn to enjoy exploring the world around them.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  LINKED TOPICS  ▬▬▬▬▬
This class goes really well with my other Exciting Earth Science classes, especially if you take these two classes first: 
1) Exciting Earth Science: Magnetism & Seismology of the Earth's Core, Mantle & Crust
2) Exciting Earth Science: Geological Time, Continental Drift, Pangea & the Fossil Record
Please see my class listings for more classes in the School of Hard Rocks!
Learning Goals
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will have in depth knowledge of the wind, weather patterns, tornadoes and hurricanes.
