For my cousin's daughter's class and their unit on weather. I explain how cold and warm fronts work and how pressure systems drive those air masses and create weather!
@@carrot5579 oh my. I didn't notice the sarcasm font they were using. 🤦♂️ Guess I should take down the video then. Wait, over 370k views, yeah apparently no one thinks this is useful. I hope my sarcasm is translating well. 😁
Elizabeth was in my 5th grade class. You made this video for us back then. I recently started teaching 5th again and was able to use this in our weather unit. Thanks again for putting this together for us.
Ah, this brings back memories. When I was in elementary school I really wanted to be a meteorologist. Our local weatherman came to our school and I managed to get a signed picture with him. It was so cool. Great video
Out of context, when you said Elizabeth's mom's cousin, I felt really uncomfortable cause I didn't know why you made the video. I'm an idiot, we're using this for quarantine school.
I'm the weather girl for our student-run newscast this week and I found this SUPER useful. I feel a lot less nervous now that I actually understand. Thank you!!
My professor and classmates thought I did the best out of all the weather reports this semester. I added the segment to my demo reel. Thank you so much
bro im actually impressed. usually videos like these are assigned by teachers and i dont understand anything from it. but when he talks about it it just makes.. sense.. good job bro
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! This helped me a LOT on a project my class is working on. We are being a pretend meteorologist and we write a script. We then tell the weather forecast and predict the weather the next day.
My 3rd graders and I are in virtual school right now and this is as close as we could get to a real meteorologist talk! Thank you for the great explanation!
Thanks so much! Six years later, this is perfect for distance learning! Kids really aren't familiar with this at all any more, because they check the day's weather on their smart phones, but never actually look at a map. Thanks so much! From a teacher.
Thank you so much for this video. This has taught me more then my whole school course lol. You did a great job explaining and I feel much more confident talking about weather maps in class. THANK YOUUU
I'm a computer science teacher at Minneola Charter School in Lake County, FL teaching elementary students on various ways to visualize data. This was a GREAT explanation of a weather map, we will be watching this!
Thank you so much! I have a geography exam that is about stuff that we did last year that our teachers haven't gone over again this year. They told us that we are basically screwed if we don't have our notes from last year and wouldn't do any revision. This was so helpful.
Thank you for this video! I got this assigned for my 7th-grade science class and it has really good examples and good information. I learned a lot from this video. Good job and thanks!
You did a great job explaining how to read a weather map!! My students will love this information and I understand how to read a weather map a lot better as well!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for sharing it with others!
This was a great video to show to our 3rd grade classes as we begin a new non-fiction unit in language arts about weather and science. Even though we live in Chicago area, it was a wonderful explanation...Thank you.
You did a Great Job explaining and I was using this for online school and I only needed the first 2 mins but I liked it enough to finish it! (that's kinda hard for me)
This is a great video, best explanation I have seen. I am putting together an exhibit on weather and we will have a forecasting station. Would I be able to use this video in the exhibit?
I would like to say thanks for making this video, I am in online school in CAVA and they used this video for easy understanding and it made it a lot easier to learn these topics and I would like to say thanks. Also I think you would make a great meteorologist.
I have to use this video for schoolwork and I am still very confused about one thing. Are fronts just things showing where the air is cold or warm air is heading?
Hey Ryan. Very nice job! I want to study meteorology really bad. I have a severe medical condition, so I can only study and do things that require no physical work, like being a surgeon, which requires use of my hands! I love meteorology and hope I become one! BTW I love The Weather Channel. I would love to visit the TWC studio one day in the future, and maybe work there. I specifically love studying supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes!
Thank you for this excellent video! I'm teaching an 8th grade science class in which we are doing a unit on weather and I am trying to understand this for the first time. Could you please do a video on warm fronts? I'm confused about what would cause a warm front. If air always moves from high (colder) to low (warmer) pressure, what would cause a warm front to move over cooler air?
Good questions! The pressure systems are not exclusively linked to temperatures. Think about the motion around the pressure systems more as the fan that distributes the temperatures. Warm generally comes from the South, cooler/cold air from the North. The pressure gradient force between the pressure systems is really what drives the movement of different types of air masses. Check out the video on those. The real reason warm fronts move OVER cooler air is warm, humid air is less dense than cool and dry air. In the atmosphere warm air and cool air don't mix, like oil and water. Does that make sense?
@@RyanDavidson1 Wow, thank you so much for your reply! First of all, are you saying that High pressure isn't necessarily cool and Low pressure isn't necessarily warm (or is it just relative to what other air masses are around)? I understand the types of air masses and the idea of the warm air rising over the cooler air and forming clouds, causing various types of precipitation. The way our science book explains it is with a section on air masses and weather fronts (cold, warm, occluded, and stationary). Then separately it talks about High and Low pressure and mentions that the air will move from H to L pressure (which all makes sense to me). What I cannot figure out despite a lot of effort is how to fit the H/L pressure areas WITH the types of fronts. The worksheets I have show a map of the US with an H and L here or there and expect you to figure out the fronts and weather from that and I just don't get it. Help!
So fronts are generally attached to areas of Low pressure. They are the drivers of the air. A cold front is drawn wherever there is cold, dry air advancing on warm, humid air. Like here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9NZz-EeveJ8.html Then, when air is rotated around an area of low pressure, counter clockwise, the same principle applies, fronts are drawn where one air mass is advancing onto another air mass like here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9NZz-EeveJ8.html
