令人興奮的地球科學：氣象學第 1 部分 - 大氣、雲、季節和降雨

▬▬▬▬▬▬  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 focus on the basic building blocks of Meterology and weather patterns. In Part 2 we build on this to put it all together to look at global weather patterns. But first in this class we look at how the atmosphere evolved over Geological time and what structure it takes now. Then we look at why there are seasons and variations in daylight from winter to summer. Finally we look at clouds and how they form and what they are called - and why some produce rain and hail and some don't! A great introduction into the building blocks of Meterology before moving on to weather systems in Part 2.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  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
