| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| meteorology | the study of patterns of weather |
| dew point | the temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses into water |
| weather | the properties of the atmosphere at a given time and location, including temperature, air movement and precipitation |
| forecast | (v) to analyze weather data and make an educated guess about weather in the future (n) a prediction about what the weather will be like in the future based on weather data |
| flood | (n) a situation in which water has flowed over the edges of a river; (v) to overflow |
| energy (physical) | the ability to do work or cause change; can be changed into different forms and can move between objects |
| air pressure | the force that air puts on an area |
| data | measurements or observations |
| Celsius | the metric temperature scale: Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, and it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. |
| tides | the rise and fall of the ocean's surface levels due to the gravitational pull of the sun and moon |
| evidence | data or information that either supports a statement or shows that it is not true |
| front | in weather, the boundary between two masses of air with different properties |
| observe | to study something using your senses |
| pressure | the force per unit area exerted on an object |
| thermometer (weather) | a device used to measure temperature |
| measure | to use a tool to learn more about the volume, length or weight of an object |
| climate | the average weather conditions in an area |
| temperate | describes a climate that does not have extremes of hot or cold |
| wind | the movement of air due to atmospheric pressure differences |
| barometer | a tool used to measure air pressure |
| Farenheit | the customary temperature scale in the United States: Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and it freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| degree | a unit of measurement of temperature |
| analyze | to figure out what data or information means |
| predict | to guess what will happen in the future |
| hypothesis | a prediction based on background knowledge saying what is expected to happen in an experiment; an explanation as to why something happened based on what was observed |
| satellite | a natural or artificial object that revolves around another object in space |
| map | a flat model of an area |
| detect | to notice or find, often with the help of a science tool |
