From Jan 2006:
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
Mr.Mitchell?
eescilsm:
hi there
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
Hi!
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
this is ------
---------------
eescilsm:
hi ---------!
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
I have a question
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
Well, its more like 4
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
ok, what are polar easterlies,
westerlies, doldrums and horse latitudes?
eescilsm:
do you have the windy noteguide?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
yes
eescilsm:
it describes them briefly, i diagrammed them that day, and your text does a
pretty good job with prevailing winds
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
ok
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
awesome
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
thank you
eescilsm:
what is it you need to know about them?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
what they are
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
and what they look like on a map
eescilsm:
did you find them in the materials yet?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
not yet
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
ok
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
i got it
eescilsm:
the windy noteguide is at
http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/atmosph ere/windy.htm
eescilsm:
scroll down a bit for an animation
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
the spinny thing?
eescilsm:
yep
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
ok
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
what does it mean?
eescilsm:
its a low
eescilsm:
it shows the air flowing into it and rising up
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
right
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
so whats an easterly?
eescilsm:
easterlies refers to the prevailing wind from the east in the tropics and polar
areas
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
and a weterly is from the west?
eescilsm:
yep
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
what about a doldrum?
eescilsm:
the doldrums are the areas at sea near the equator where ships would become
becalmed and sit there for a long time without moving because the air there is
rising, not blowing along the ground
eescilsm:
what land feature do you find in that area of the world?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
islands?
eescilsm:
on the islands, south america, africa - what type of ecosystem
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
tropical
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
?
eescilsm:
what kind of weather do they have?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
hot and rainy?
eescilsm:
yep, so you get what kind forests?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
rainforests!
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
does it rain so much becuase the air is
hot and always rising?
eescilsm:
twice right!
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
YES!
eescilsm:
and what do you get where the air sinks around 30 degrees?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
i dons't know
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
don't*
eescilsm:
sinking air causes what kind of weather?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
clear?
eescilsm:
yep, no rain, but still pretty warm, so you get ?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
i think so
eescilsm:
that was a question - what is found along 30 degrees in both hemispheres?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
clear weather with no rain because of
sinking air?
eescilsm:
and without much rain, not much vegetation, so you have......?
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
deserts?
eescilsm:
yes!
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
yay!
eescilsm:
but at sea, that area of the world is called the horse latitudes
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
why?
eescilsm:
sailing ships got stuck, run out of water, all hands lost
eescilsm:
check out
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/comp/cmoll/cmoll.html
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
i see it but i dont know what it is
eescilsm:
it shows the worlds atmosphere movements over the past week
eescilsm:
you can see the clounds moving with the westerlies across the Atlantic
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
oh
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
cool
eescilsm:
the colors on land represent temp - the warmer temps move from east to west with
daylight
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
ok
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
i have to go finish studying global
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
thank you so much!
eescilsm:
this animation is pretty global
eescilsm:
i hope it helped
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
it did
Dcvfrtgbnhy:
bbye
eescilsm:
bye

dfghjkl:
how do you calculate mass?
eescilsm:
you usually measure mass on a scale
eescilsm:
a triple beam balance
dfghjkl:
okay thanks.. that`s what i thought.. && density is mass/volume?
eescilsm:
ayup
dfghjkl:
kk
eescilsm:
hey - i just rediscovered a better animation of a low
dfghjkl:
..k?.. what`s the link?
eescilsm:
http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/atmosph ere/windy.htm
dfghjkl:
thankss
eescilsm:
you have to scroll down a bit
dfghjkl is away at 9:24:59 PM.
Asdfghjkl:
hi mr. mitchell
Asdfghjkl:
i have a quick question
eescilsm:
ok
Asdfghjkl:
how do you convert celsius to farenheit and back?
eescilsm:
C= (F-32)/1.8
Asdfghjkl:
thanks
Asdfghjkl:
ill ask you if i need anything else
eescilsm:
ok, who is this?
Asdfghjkl:
---- ------
eescilsm:
hi ------!
Asdfghjkl:
how are you?\
eescilsm:
tired
Asdfghjkl:
talkin to lots of people?
eescilsm:
you're the first - i just got home
Asdfghjkl:
yea
Asdfghjkl:
i just got on too
Asdfghjkl:
to see if you were on
eescilsm:
how big is a degree C versus F?
Asdfghjkl:
so i could ask you a question or two before the exam
tomorrow
Asdfghjkl:
F is 32 more than C i believe right?
eescilsm:
well, Celcius starts where F is 32
Asdfghjkl:
yea
Asdfghjkl:
C = 0 when F = 32
Asdfghjkl:
so its c=f-32/1.8
Asdfghjkl:
i think..
eescilsm:
right - but how big is one degree C compared with one degree F?
Asdfghjkl:
ummm
eescilsm:
that formula needs parenthesis
Asdfghjkl:
o
Asdfghjkl:
i dont know
eescilsm:
if you typed that into calculator, i don't know ehat you'd get
Asdfghjkl:
oooo
Asdfghjkl:
ok
eescilsm:
F goes from freeze to boil in how many degrees?
Asdfghjkl:
F freeze is 32 and boil is 280?
Asdfghjkl:
this was one of my eeeked topics
eescilsm:
212
Asdfghjkl:
o ok
Asdfghjkl:
thank you
eescilsm:
so...?
Asdfghjkl:
F goes from 212 - 32 = 180
eescilsm:
good - how about C?
Asdfghjkl:
ok
Asdfghjkl:
umm
Asdfghjkl:
let me think a second
Asdfghjkl:
i think freeze for C is 0
eescilsm:
right
Asdfghjkl:
and for boil is...
Asdfghjkl:
i think i know this....
Asdfghjkl:
180
eescilsm:
sorry
Asdfghjkl:
darn
Asdfghjkl:
i though i was close somehow
Asdfghjkl:
but i guess not
eescilsm:
remember what old dr Celcius called his scale when he invented it?
Asdfghjkl:
no
Asdfghjkl:
sorry
eescilsm:
the centigrade scale
Asdfghjkl:
ok
Asdfghjkl:
so how would i find the boil for C?
eescilsm:
and centi means....
Asdfghjkl:
welll
Asdfghjkl:
if it was centimeter then it would be 1/100 of a meter
Asdfghjkl:
but...centi is...
eescilsm:
right
Asdfghjkl:
1/100 of something? as a guess
Asdfghjkl:
no thats a different term
Asdfghjkl:
i dont think thats right
eescilsm:
no its not
Asdfghjkl:
ok
eescilsm:
100 ___________ in a dollar
eescilsm:
100 centimeters in a meter
eescilsm:
100 centigrams in a gram
Asdfghjkl:
cents
eescilsm:
guess how many degrees from freeze to boil
Asdfghjkl:
100
eescilsm:
yay!
Asdfghjkl:
sweet i got it
Asdfghjkl:
!
eescilsm:
now where were we?
Asdfghjkl:
is this a big portion of the test?
eescilsm:
no
Asdfghjkl:
ok just a few questions?
Asdfghjkl:
or one or two or something like that?
eescilsm:
wait - but how big is one degree C compared with one degree F?
Asdfghjkl:
freeze to boil for F is 180 and C is 100
Asdfghjkl:
would you subtract them?
Asdfghjkl:
to get 80?
Asdfghjkl:
for the comparison
eescilsm:
no, you are comparing
Asdfghjkl:
ok
Asdfghjkl:
well then...im still stuck i guess
eescilsm:
100 C is to 180 F as 1 C is to __________ F
Asdfghjkl:
18?
eescilsm:
180/100 =
Asdfghjkl:
oooo
Asdfghjkl:
alright
Asdfghjkl:
oooooo 1.8 thats why the formula was divisible by 1.8
eescilsm:
yay!
Asdfghjkl:
C=(F-32)/1.8
Asdfghjkl:
there we go
Asdfghjkl:
i got
eescilsm:
no the other way
eescilsm:
now the other way
Asdfghjkl:
F=(C+32)/1.8
Asdfghjkl:
?
eescilsm:
100/180=
eescilsm:
as a fraction
Asdfghjkl:
ok
eescilsm:
by the way, your handout on this is at
http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/foundtns /tempintro.htm
Asdfghjkl:
5/9
Asdfghjkl:
thank you
eescilsm:
now that we have reinvented the Celcius scale, what else do you need?
Asdfghjkl:
ummm
Asdfghjkl:
differences of radiation, conduction and convection
eescilsm:
do you have the energy transfer in the atmosphere h/o?
Asdfghjkl:
what does that look like...it was on our lastest
notebook right?

science is acquisition of knowledge, which is inventory, the first step in management - other areas of knowledge are also important, but science is particularly valuable because the knowledge is acquired using measurement, observation and inference, all of which are verifiable, repeatable, anybody-can-do-it-able ------------------------------- wrote: hey man! I have a question about the midterm. How does science play a role in management of natural resources? I can't find that in my notes.Thanx i really appreciate your help! peace=) |

THANKS MR MITCHELL YOUR AWESOME!! SEE YOU 2MORRO HOPE THE TEST ISN'T HARD!!!! WISH ME LUCK
THANX AGAIN FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!:) |
BVCXZASDFG: hi
mr.mitchell
eescilsm:
hi thereeescilsm:
you have the objective listseescilsm:
of course not, just as not every bit was on the marking period tests - but any of it could be thereeescilsm:
2 hourseescilsm:
about 18 pages, but some pages do not have much on themeescilsm:
yep - at leasteescilsm:
anything else?eescilsm:
uh-oheescilsm:
1. look up how many grams of water could be in the air at its tempeescilsm:
2. apply the relative humidity percentage to find how many grams are actually in the aireescilsm:
there will be one on the exam, or it will give you the numbers from iteescilsm:
3. look up on the graph the temp the air would have to cool to so the grams of water actually in the air is the most that could be in that air at that cooler tempeescilsm:
there is around 3eescilsm:
what way was that?BVCXZASDFG:
i was trying to divide the percentage by the degrees it was decreaced by then by using the number on the charts trying to multiply that by 1.8eescilsm:
good luckthyrfdesxcvbn: The need 2 communicate and verify data and conclusions,
including the differences between hypothesis and theroy
eescilsm:
what about it?thyrfdesxcvbn:
please explain....eescilsm:
why does scientific method include these?eescilsm:
my connection seems to be cutting in and outthyrfdesxcvbn:
u wut?thyrfdesxcvbn:
idk! i don't understand!eescilsm:
i may not have received your last messagethyrfdesxcvbn:
o i c......is it my computer or urs?thyrfdesxcvbn:
n e wayz....if u have datat u should gather it into a conclusioneescilsm:
but what if you do not publish your conclusions?thyrfdesxcvbn:
difference betwwen a theroy and hypotheses- hypothesis is a guesstimate and a theroy is a proven estimate that has not been provin incorrect for a long pieriod of timethyrfdesxcvbn:
if u don't have a conclusion that wut r u doing the experiment for?thyrfdesxcvbn:
bcuz the conclusion analyzes the experiment overalleescilsm:
if you don't tell anybody, can the last steps happen?thyrfdesxcvbn:
.....yes....shhhhh!eescilsm:
no, the last step is verification - that cannot happen if no one knows about it, and if it was not independently verified, its not sciencethyrfdesxcvbn:
or not....eescilsm:
who is this?thyrfdesxcvbn:
im scared about this midterm....r u allowed 2 ask that?eescilsm:
sure - you know who i am, and you are one of my students - you don't have to tell me if you don't want toeescilsm:
you should never tell someone you do not know your name of coursethyrfdesxcvbn:
it wouldn't strike my fancy....eescilsm:
okthyrfdesxcvbn:
we r soooooo off topicthyrfdesxcvbn:
i g2gthyrfdesxcvbn:

Rtyuiopasdf has
entered the room.
Hjklpoiuy: oh wiat!!!!!
Hjklpoiuy: hes back
eescilsm: hi R......
eescilsm: questions please?
Rtyuiopasdf: who r
u??
Hjklpoiuy: S........!
eescilsm: any exam
questions?
Hjklpoiuy: yes......
Hjklpoiuy: about the atmosphere, do we
have to go and like label all the components of the atmoshere in the diagrams or
anything?
Rtyuiopasdf: so what do i have 2 do 2 not do these
essays??
eescilsm: the weather prediction lab we
started in the computer room last week
Rtyuiopasdf: yeah i filled out the
chart but do i have 2 do anything else??
Hjklpoiuy: i didn't fill it out!
what does that mean?!
eescilsm: do you have the
instruction page?
Rtyuiopasdf: ummmm im not sure no
Hjklpoiuy:
what???/
eescilsm: completing the instructions was
optional
Hjklpoiuy: what instructions?
Rtyuiopasdf: ohhh but do i still
not have 2 do the essays??
Hjklpoiuy: yes you d
Hjklpoiuy:
do*
Hjklpoiuy: just not as many
eescilsm: the
lab replaces 2 of the 10 short essays
eescilsm:
see:
http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/atmosphere/wthrsta/predict.htm
Hjklpoiuy:
oh well, no big deal i guess
Hjklpoiuy: whats that website
about?
Rtyuiopasdf: ohhh so i have to complete all the lab 2 not do the
essays??
eescilsm: thats the lab
Hjklpoiuy:
haha
Rtyuiopasdf: ok
eescilsm: yes, you have to
complete all the lab 2 not do 2 of the essays??
Rtyuiopasdf: ok
eescilsm: if you don't have it done by now, it may not be
worth trying to finish now
Rtyuiopasdf has left the room.
Hjklpoiuy:
trying to finish the essays you mean?
Rtyuiopasdf has entered the
room.
Rtyuiopasdf: oooops
Hjklpoiuy: haha
eescilsm: anything else?
Hjklpoiuy:
um......
Hjklpoiuy: whats the format of the tes?
Hjklpoiuy: test*
eescilsm: a variety of question types - m/c, t/f
corrections, fill ins, short essays, the big essay, diagrams,
measurements
Hjklpoiuy: diagrams of what?
Hjklpoiuy: measurements of
what?!?!
eescilsm: can you invite Mnbvcxzasd
here?
Hjklpoiuy: sure!
Mnbvcxzasd has entered the room.
Hjklpoiuy:
anyone else?
Mnbvcxzasd: hey S..........
eescilsm: hi C.........!
Hjklpoiuy: hey
C.........!
Mnbvcxzasd: hey
Mnbvcxzasd: whats up
Rtyuiopasdf:
hey
Mnbvcxzasd: did i tell u guys i broke my mouse cause i was in a bad
mood
Hjklpoiuy: haha
Mnbvcxzasd: Thanxs
Mnbvcxzasd: Ok back to
science
Hjklpoiuy: i love ya C.........
Mnbvcxzasd: lol
eescilsm: n-cycle: know the chart stuff - sources, effects,
how it leaves the air, mgt
Mnbvcxzasd: I know
Hjklpoiuy: oh
yeah......
Mnbvcxzasd: k
Hjklpoiuy: uh huh.....
Mnbvcxzasd: I was also
a little comfused over the ways the hot and cold fronts turn
Mnbvcxzasd: the
counter clockwise and clockwise
Mnbvcxzasd: tthing
eescilsm: don't mix up N2 with NOx and N-compounds
eescilsm: h/c fronts do not turn
Hjklpoiuy: whats
NOx??
Hjklpoiuy: and what are N-compounds?
Mnbvcxzasd: what turns
than
Mnbvcxzasd: Nitrogen
Hjklpoiuy: air pressure systems
Mnbvcxzasd:
n compounds are nitrogen S.........
Hjklpoiuy: oh ok thanks!
Mnbvcxzasd:
no problem here all the time.
Hjklpoiuy: haha
Mnbvcxzasd: hey whose
Rtyuiopasdf
eescilsm: nitrogen oxides are air
pollutants, nitrogen compounds can be plant fertilizers
Hjklpoiuy: thats
R.........
Mnbvcxzasd: o
Hjklpoiuy: oh ok i gotcha now
Mnbvcxzasd: What
currents move anyways
Mnbvcxzasd: I never got that part
Mnbvcxzasd: I
must have been tierd or had a head ache from lack of sleep
eescilsm: low pressure systems - storms rotate
counterclockwise in n hemisphere
Hjklpoiuy: and thats where tornadoes usually
form?
Hjklpoiuy: right?
Hjklpoiuy: do we have to know why they form
there?
eescilsm: high pressure systems - clear
weather winds spiral clockwise in n hemisphere
eescilsm: tornados form with cold fronts
Mnbvcxzasd: ok
i will copy and paste this so i can study with G......... tommorow durring
band
Mnbvcxzasd: o no
Mnbvcxzasd: i forgot i cant past
Hjklpoiuy:
haha
Mnbvcxzasd: my mouse
Hjklpoiuy: whata bout the southern
hemisphere?
eescilsm: sounds good - i'll try to
stop down to the band room, if you're not practicing
eescilsm: don't worry about the s hemisphere
Hjklpoiuy:
ok
Hjklpoiuy: well we don't have band tomorrow
Mnbvcxzasd: ok
sweet
Hjklpoiuy: no practicing, so i'm going in late!
Mnbvcxzasd: Me and
G......... will be studieing
Hjklpoiuy: me and S.......... are making our
late entrance
Hjklpoiuy: and J....... 2!
Hjklpoiuy: haha
Mnbvcxzasd: I
was but G...... bribed me into
eescilsm: G......
who?
Mnbvcxzasd: H......
Hjklpoiuy: haha
eescilsm: he took the test today - no fair buying answers
from him!
Mnbvcxzasd: O he did sweet
Mnbvcxzasd: He can help me even
mroe
Mnbvcxzasd: lol
Hjklpoiuy: hahaha
eescilsm: i think i'd better compare your exams very
carefully!
Sdfghjkl has entered the room.
Hjklpoiuy:
S........!!!!!1
eescilsm: S.....?
Sdfghjkl:
yes
eescilsm: any questions?
Hjklpoiuy: hey
gurlie, whats happening?
Mnbvcxzasd: eveyone gets so excited when somone gets
in a room
Hjklpoiuy: you have entered the very cool science
chat
Hjklpoiuy: haha i know!
Sdfghjkl: do we have do we have know like
compounds?
Hjklpoiuy: :-D
Hjklpoiuy: like like like!
Mnbvcxzasd:
huh
eescilsm: which compounds?
Sdfghjkl: like
the mehtane and nitrogen and stuff
Mnbvcxzasd: yea do we need to konw the
formulas
eescilsm: it would help - m/c questions
may use formulas, but short essay questions you can spell out the compounds
names
Sdfghjkl: okay
eescilsm: don't mix up N2
with NOx and N-compounds
Hjklpoiuy: formulas about what??
Hjklpoiuy: ohhhh
those ok gotcha
Rtyuiopasdf has left the room.
Hjklpoiuy: hwats the
difference between those again?
Mnbvcxzasd: explain those two again nox does
what and n2 does what
Mnbvcxzasd: i know onces not good (nox) the other ones
the one i am guessing u find in the air n2
eescilsm: nitrogen oxides are air pollutants, nitrogen
compounds can be plant fertilizers, N2 is nitrogen gas in the air
Mnbvcxzasd:
sweet got it
Hjklpoiuy: so basically..........NOx is the worst for the ozone
and stuff right?
eescilsm: N2 is inert, plants
take in various n-compounds, NOx forms from high temp combustion
Mnbvcxzasd:
o
Sdfghjkl: ooo
Hjklpoiuy: ooooooo
Mnbvcxzasd: c that just comfused me
even more
eescilsm: NOx does damage ozone some,
but CFCs are the real bad ozone killers
Mnbvcxzasd: yea
Hjklpoiuy: oh
ok
Mnbvcxzasd: do we have to know alot about nox
Hjklpoiuy: and then waht
exactly does the N2 do besides feed to the plants, just have to do with some
destruction of ozone 2?
eescilsm: NOx causes smog,
overenriches the n-cycle, adds to acid rain,
Mnbvcxzasd: k got it
eescilsm: N2 is the most abundant gas, but is
inert
Hjklpoiuy: inert means.........?
eescilsm: it just sits there and doesn't do anything under
normal conditions - reminds me of some of my students (present company excepted
of course)
Mnbvcxzasd: lol
eescilsm:
questions?
Mnbvcxzasd: Umm yea why is this eek sheet make no
sence
Mnbvcxzasd: half the stuff is repeated
Hjklpoiuy:
hahaha
Hjklpoiuy: the pizza is here guys.....g2g
Hjklpoiuy: lol see ya
tomorrow good luck to all yall
Hjklpoiuy: love ya buhbye!!
Sdfghjkl has
left the room.
eescilsm: bye
Rtyuiopasdf has
entered the room.
Hjklpoiuy: you boys have fun w/o me!
Hjklpoiuy:
;-)buhbye!
eescilsm: some of the repeated stuff is
because we did the same thing for more than one day
Mnbvcxzasd: o i will
Mnbvcxzasd: save me some pizza
eescilsm:
bye
Hjklpoiuy: haha bye!
Hjklpoiuy: oh yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no
bye!
Hjklpoiuy has left the room.
eescilsm:
R......?
Rtyuiopasdf: ummm so wut do i make the bar graph 4 this thing
of??
Mnbvcxzasd: Wait can u copy and paste the essay question so i can write
it now. I figured a way to use it
eescilsm: the
last column - the totals for the daily differences
eescilsm: hold on chris
Rtyuiopasdf: ohhhh ok
eescilsm: i'm trying
eescilsm: i'll email it - whats your
address?
Mnbvcxzasd: here send it to my mail ----------------
eescilsm: its on its way - remember you can't use it during
the test, just practice it
eescilsm: any other
questions?
Mnbvcxzasd: umm yea
Mnbvcxzasd: How many questions on the
test
eescilsm: 15 pages worth
Mnbvcxzasd: witch
is around 60 70 80..
Mertyuiopl has entered the room.
Rtyuiopasdf:
hey
Mertyuiopl: hey
eescilsm: who?
eescilsm: how do measurment and observation relate to
inference? --
Plkjgfd has entered the room.
Rtyuiopasdf: ummm using them
we can infer what the data means
eescilsm: meas is
most objective, verifiable, obs less, inf least
Mnbvcxzasd:
hey
Mertyuiopl: okay
eescilsm: we need to use
meas and obs to verify inferences
Rtyuiopasdf: ohhhh
Mertyuiopl: hi
C........
Mertyuiopl: oh ok
eescilsm: who is
Plkjgfd?
Plkjgfd: D..............
eescilsm: hi
D.............!
