The document describes an experiment to demonstrate how heated air rises by using a candle to heat air under a paper bag attached to a stick balanced on a chair. It then explains that when air is heated, it rises upward, causing surrounding air to move toward the warm air in the form of wind. During the day, land heats up faster than water, so the air over land is warmer, creating sea breezes as air over the sea moves toward land. At night, land cools faster, creating land breezes as the cooler air over land moves toward the warmer sea. The document asks the reader to trace sea and land breeze directions and answer questions about these concepts.

What happens when air is
heated? Materials needed: stick, paper bags, candles, lighter
1. Attach a paper bag to each end of the stick.
2. Balance the paper bags on the chair. 3. Make a prediction. What will happen if a lighted candle is placed under the open one end of the bags? 4. Light the candle and place it below one end of the bag. (CAUTION: Don’t place the candle too close to the paper bag. What happens when air is heated? Was your predictions accurate? Described what happened. What happens when air is heated? This is the first concept you need to know: When air is heated up, it moves upward. In short words, What happens when air is heated? Warm air rises. When warm air rises, it will affect the air in its surroundings… The air that rises up need to be replaced so… The surrounding air moves towards the warm air. What happens when air is heated? The surrounding air moves towards the warm air.
This movement of surrounding air is
what we call… WIND What happens when air is heated? During the day, the surface of the Earth becomes warm because of the Sun.
Some parts of the Earth will warm up
quickly than others. Warm What happens when air is heated? When the sea and land both exposed to sun during the day, the land heats up faster than water. That means, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the sea. SEA BREEZE
Warm What happens when air is heated? But what will happen if the sun is gone?. The land and sea will both cool down. The land will cool faster than the sea which means the water will stay warm longer. LAND BREEZE
Warm Sea Breeze When the air from the sea moves to the land. Land Breeze When the air from the land moves to the sea. Land Breeze and Sea Breeze is important because it helps us monitor the weather phenomena associated specially in coastal regions. Now, do this… Trace the direction of the wind by drawing a line and arrows corresponds to where it moves. So let’s During daytime, make it we experienced sea breeze clear… because air from the sea moves towards the land where the air is warmer and at nighttime, we encounter land breeze because air from the land moves towards the sea where the air is warmer. Choose the letter of the correct answer. 1. When the air gets warm, it moves… A. Downward B. Upward C. Sideward d. any direction 2. Moving air is also called? A.wind B. whirlwind C. gust D. current 3. During daytime, air from the sea moves to the land, therefore it is? A. Sea breeze B. Land breeze C. Day breeze D. Night breeze 4. When the land is cooled down, the air above it moves towards the sea, it is? A. Sea breeze B. Land breeze C. Day breeze D. Night breeze 5. Why do you think land and sea breezes are important? A. Because it relaxes us. B. It tells us the possible weather C. Because it helps us monitor the weather phenomena in coast. D. It tells the temperature of the sea.
