Weather Reference Table Scavenger Hunt

Description

This resource is designed to help students effectively locate, interpret, and apply weather-related information using the New York State Earth and Space Science Reference Table (ESRT). The document outlines a learning goal, success criteria, and a detailed overview of essential weather vocabulary and data interpretation techniques. It contains sections on temperature scales, station model keys, weather map symbols, and charts for calculating dew point and relative humidity. The scavenger hunt engages students with various weather map symbol challenges, air pressure investigations, and temperature-moisture connections. Moreover, students will analyze weather scenarios to predict incoming weather patterns using their reference tables. There are sections for self-reflection on comprehension challenges and goal-setting for continued practice with the ESRT.
