IS THE GETTING WARMER?

One re search report that more tan 450 scientist use the information from 62 different
Countries.

EVIDENCE
The evidence are the facts or sings that help prove something to show that it is true.
One of the evidence to prove the earth is getting warmer, are: the temperatura, how
many clouds are in the sky and how high or low the wter in the ocean is.

METEROROLOGIST

Are the scientist who study the weather and the earths atmosphere.
The scientist (meteoroligist) use the information to say the earth is getting warmer.
Scientist believe that the earth is getting warmer 25 faster that have in the past.
In this video answer the question
is the earth getting warmer?
Yes!

Also discuss how scientist use the evidence to answer the question

PREVIEWING TEXT
In this video we will discuss how to preview informational text about scientific
research.
Do research to make a good research, have to read about people ideas or experiments.

Previewing a text:
1. title
 2. Subtitle of images
3. subheadings
4. first paragraph

TITLE
To choose a really good title we have to make us 1 questions.
what do i already know abouyt this topic?
We have to learn and prepare us really carefully about the title that we choose.

SUBTITLE OF IMAGES

Are the Words below a picture thet explain the picture in scientify text.
We usually can find captions or figures like:
Tables, charts, graphs.
Those can help us make a guess about overell ideas over text.
SUBHEADING
Are small titles that introduce different sections of a text.

FIRST PARAGRAPH
Informational text often give the most important information in first.
The title, pictures captions and subheading can help us to predict the main idea to text.

MAIN IDEA
Is the overall, general message of the text after previewing we can decided if i want to
read the text more carefully.

WARMING EXPERIMENT
We set up two different jars that each represented the earth's atmosphere. Jar A was
open with a thermometer inside and Jar B, was sealed with clear plastic wrap and a
rubber band with a thermometer inside, is an independent variable. Jar A represents the
earth's atmosphere in its most basic form.
A control in a scientific experiment is the thing that scientists do not change, so they can
compare results.
An independent variable is a thing changed by a scientist to measure differences in an
experiment.
Our dependent variable or the thing we want to observe or measure is the temperature of
the jars. With the help of a thermometer.
Both jars are 23 degrees celsius which is room temperature.
Begin to track your data. Fill in 0 minutes for the time and 23 degree celsius for the
temperature of both jars.
let's place both jars in direct sunlight. record the temperatures of the jars every five
minutes for 30 minutes.
In five minutes. Jar A and Jar B temperatures are both still 23 degree Celsius.
In ten minutes. Jar A's temperature is still at 23 degrees Celsius and Jar B's temperature
is now at 24 degrees Celsius.
After 15 minutes, Jar A's temperature is still 23 degrees Celsius and Jar B's temperature
is now 25 degrees Celsius.
20 minutes is up. Jar A, is finally starting to get warmer and it's 24 degrees Celsius. Jar
B, stay the same at 25 degree Celsius.
25 minutes is up. Jar A's temperatures stayed the same at 24 degrees Celsius and Jar B's
temperatures increased a little more to reach 26 degrees Celsius.
30 minutes is up. Jar A's final temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. And Jar B's final
temperature is 27 degrees Celsius.

GLOBAL WARMING VS CLIMATE CHANGE

We're going to look at the differences between the phrases global warming, and climate
change, and talk about the relationship between them.
People often confuse climate with weather.
Weather means the state of the atmosphere at one specific time. It can vary or change
from one day to the next, or even between the morning, and the afternoon.
So we might say, the weather was sunny yesterday, or the weather is going to be windy
later on today.
climate means the weather conditions in an area or region, over a long period. Years,
decades, or centuries, or millennia
When we say, the climate in the Middle East is hot and dry, we mean all the time, and
for a long time in the past.
When we usually talk about climate change, we mean the changes that have happened
because of increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This increase in
carbon dioxide, is a direct result of the increase in the use of fossil fuels, such as coal or
oil.
Global warming means the long term increase in the temperature of the Earth, because
that heat cannot escape, by a layer of green house gases.
Climate change refers to the long-term changes in climates in different regions of the
world. But they might also be cooling or other changes weather like snowstorms or
hurricanes. Climate change can also refer to rising sea levels.
Global warming is causing climate change, so there is a cause and effect relationship.

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

Comparatives are types of adjectives, words that are used to describe nouns. There are
adjectives that usually compare two or more things. An elephant is big, but a whale is bigger.
However, they are also used to compare the present to the past.

Example:

when we say the Earth is warmer, we are not comparing it to another planet. We mean that the
earth is warmer than before.

The first rule is this, if the adjective has one syllable, add the ending. So warm becomes
warmer, wet becomes wetter, and dry becomes drier. Notice the spelling here. Wetter is
spelled with two t's. When a word ends in a vowel and then a consonant, the consonant
is written twice in the comparative.

The second rule is this, if the adjective has two syllables and ends in y, change the y to i
and add. So windy becomes windier and early becomes earlier.

The third rule is that if the adjectives has two or more syllables and does not end in y,
do not add an ending. Instead, use the word more before the adjective. So energetic with
four syllables, energetic, becomes more energetic, and efficient, with three, efficient,
becomes more efficient
QUESTION:
WHAT ARE THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE EARTH IS GETTING
WARMER?
- the temperature
- look how many clouds are in the sky
- how high or low the water in the ocean is.

WHY DO YOU THINK JAR B'S TEMPERATURE IS INCREASING FASTER

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?

we mean the changes that have happened because of increased amounts of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?

WHAT ARE THE COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES?
