Re: Meteorology B
I wouldn't say it's second grade work, unless you're teaching a class of super second grade prodigies. There are a lot of clouds out there, some of which have very small differences, so I can definitely see a test having a section on naming different types of clouds. They might also throw in other meteorological phenomena.

4 different invitationals for us, all had some questions on clouds. Usually its pictures with filling or matching to a word bank. Often cloud ID and other phenom such as auroras, green flash, belt of venus, holos and sundog are group together as part of a visual recognition. Key can often be how group the quality of the picture is on your test. I have heard, but never experienced first hand of moderators using a powerpoint slide show with clouds and phenon scrolling during test.
Start with the basics: height and shapes, then progress to the unusally like lenticular, mammatus, wall, shelf, noctilucent,nacreous and my favorite, Kelvin-Helmhotz clouds. Google Cloud and Weather Phemom images. I have found that often test makers will use images from the 1st few rows, sometimes identically.

Re: Meteorology B
Climate was last season's topic from last season's rules. The current rules are, in fact, on everyday weather. And the list of subtopics is loooooong, so get a copy of the *current* rules from your coach.

Re: Meteorology B
Hi All,
I am a new coach on this subject. We are heading to States and have a somewhat good handle on the topic.
My question is - what are the Met B tests like at States, based on past years experience? I know the topics change, but am curious about length, subject depth, technical skills, and any other tips/advice.
We are looking to really step up our practices over the next few weeks and as much information we can pull together - the better!
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Re: Meteorology B
General answer:
The topics don't change; they're listed in the rules. The expectation is that State tests are more challenging than Regional tests. Assume use of process skills wherever possible.
For Ohio-specific info regarding Ohio's Meteorology event supervisor, you'd have to ask someone by you. MMeteorite on here may or may not know.

Ask Centerville HS SO team members who did the event in middle school to give you some feed back.MetCoach wrote:Hi All,
