Topic: Structure of the EarthLearning Goal: Describe the properties and the
composition of the layers of the atmosphere.
4 I can explain and teach to others the different layers of the
atmosphere and the properties that make up each layer.
3 I can explain the different layers of the atmosphere and the
properties that make up each layer.
2 I have a partial understanding of the different layers of the
atmosphere and the properties that make up each layer.
1 I have a limited understanding of the different layers of the
atmosphere and cannot describe the properties that make up each
layer.

Troposphere: 1b
1. Lowest Layer of the atmosphere
2. Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
3. Layer with the highest density of gases.
4. Almost all life forms are here.
5. Draw mountains, trees and birds.
6. Where weather occurs. Draw clouds above mountains.
Stratosphere: 2b
1. Jet stream is located here.
2. Draw arrows to represent this fast moving current of air from West to East. (Lower)
3. Draw a jet airplane traveling above the Jet Stream
4. Ozone layer is located above jet stream
of the stratosphere. Protects all life on Earth from harmful Ultra Violet Rays.
5. Ozone layer is made up of 3 oxygen atoms
Draw a layer of blue dots to represent oxygen atoms. 6. Draw hole in Ozone layer.
Mesosphere: 3b
1. This is the coldest layer. Draw a thermometer.
2. Meteors shatter due to friction in this layer, draw and label a meteor shower.
3. Temperature, decreases with increasing height.
Thermosphere: 4b
1. Bottom of this layer is a sub-layer called the Ionosphere. Draw (+) and( - ) signs representing atoms and label it the Ionosphere.
2. At the top of the Thermosphere is another sub-layer call the Exosphere. This is where satellites are located.
3. Draw and label a satellite.
4. Name this layer at the top
Exosphere.
