<p>This lesson is part of <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/exploring-brazil-ks2-12391247">Exploring Brazil</a>, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2 (Y4-6), but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.</p> <p>The presentation first locates Brazil in the world’s climate zones and asks children to infer what the country’s weather and climate might be like.</p> <p>Next, students look at three areas of Brazil in more detail – Manaus in the Amazon, Teresina in the caatinga desert region and Porto Alegre in the south of the country – and investigate a climate graph.</p> <p>There are two activities:</p> <p><strong>Activity 1:</strong><br /> Students first investigate three climate graphs, looking at temperature and rainfall. Their challenge is to match each graph to an area of Brazil, explaining their reasoning for their choices. It is differentiated 2 ways:</p> <p><strong>Easier</strong> – Students match two statements to each climate graph, then match each graph to one of the three cities/regions.<br /> <strong>Harder</strong> – Students write sentence describing the temperature and rainfall patterns in each climate graph, then match each graph to one of the three cities/regions.</p> <p><strong>Activity 2:</strong><br /> Students create their own Brazil climate graphs in Microsoft Excel using step-by-step instructions.</p> <p>If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

<p>This resource is part of <strong><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13129818">Exploring Australia</a></strong>, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS1 and lower KS2 (Y2-Y4). All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.</p> <p>First the presentation investigates how Australia’s position closer to the Equator impacts its climate. Next, students are introduced to Australia’s three climate zones (tropical, arid and temperate) and find out how this effects weather in different parts of the country.</p> <p>The activity challenges students to identify the climate zones of different Australian towns and cities:</p> <p><strong>Easier</strong> - Students identify the climate zones of 12 towns/cities.<br /> <strong>Harder</strong> - Students identify the state and climate zones of 12 towns/cities.<br /> <strong>Extension</strong> - Students investigate which climate zone has the most towns/cities and what this indicates about Australia’s population.</p> <p>If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

A 4 page workbook based on the text of Geog 3 covering aspects of weather and climate. Some worksheets are not dependent on the use of Geog 3.

10 Fully resourced lessons forming a weather and climate scheme of work. <br /> PowerPoints are engaging and interactive. <br /> A resource booklet of over 30 pages is included along with a short end of unit assessment. <br /> Topic includes; Differences between weather and climate, measuring the weather, cloud types, types of rainfall, air masses and the British Isles, Low pressure weather, high pressure weather, interpreting synoptic charts, factors influencing climate, drawing and interpreting climate graphs, assessment. <br /> Please leave a review :)

This is a five page revision booklet based on the Weather and Climate scheme of work that is available. It covers 1) factors that affect climate, 2) depressions, 3) anticyclones, 4) extreme weather in the UK, 5) global warming - cause, effect and response, 7) hurricanes and their causes and 8) a case study of hurricane Katrina.

2 lessons: measuring the weather, climate zones, factors affecting climate. Instructions for making a wind sock to use outside and calculating sunshine hours (to cover Numeracy framework). Couple of references to Wales (to cover Curriculum Cymreig)

<p>Assessment and detailed mark scheme for an end of topic test on weather and climate.<br /> 28 marks, should take approximately 40 minutes for students to complete.<br /> Aimed at KS3 students.<br /> In Microsoft Word Format so it can be adapted as required.</p>

<p>This booklet includes a number of challenges revising the topic of weather and climate. Each challenge requires students to complete a different activity to answer the question. A fun and thorough revision activity.</p>

<p>Introduction lesson to Weather and Climate unit.<br /> Lesson objectives:</p> <ul> <li>To know the difference between weather and climate.</li> <li>To know the different types of weather we experience.</li> </ul>

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this fourth lesson in the section we look at the effects of climate change around the world.</p> <p>We start with a quote from Great Thunberg and the pupils discuss whether they think she is right that we should be panicking about climate change and its impacts.</p> <p>We then look briefly at climate change impacts in the UK where the pupils will annotate a map of the UK using information from a video clip. We then look at the impacts worldwide, the pupils will be given an A3 sheet with a map surrounded by the impacts, they first locate the region the where the impact will be felt, rate the seriousness of the impact and then categorise each one as either social, economic, environmental or political.</p> <p>Using the information they have now gathered they write a response to Greta Thunberg’s quote using evidence from the lesson. We finish with a post-it plenary using a 2-mark question from the 2019 exam.</p> <p>In a nutshell lesson includes:</p> <p>Discussion starter over Greta Thunberg Quote<br /> Annotated diagram of the impacts on the UK<br /> A3 map task on the effects of climate change worldwide<br /> Video clips where appropriate<br /> GCSE-style question plenary</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this second lesson in the section we look at the natural causes of climate change.</p> <p>We start with a quick knowledge check on climate change with a quiz.</p> <p>We then look at orbital changes, sunspot activity and volcanic eruptions as mechanisms for causing climate change. The pupils will have a worksheet to fill in and there are information sheets for each mechanism. This could be done as a round the room activity or group work, it’s up to you. We use Tambora as an example of volcanic activity affecting climate.</p> <p>We finish with GCSE-style question with some suggested content if they need help.</p> <p>In a nutshell lesson includes:</p> <p>Climate change quiz starter<br /> Worksheet activity on mechanisms for natural climate change<br /> Video clips where appropriate<br /> GCSE-style question with guidance on suggested content.</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this first lesson in the section we look at what the evidence is for climate change.</p> <p>We start with a picture interpretation around frost fairs on the River Thames and how this might be evidence for climate change.</p> <p>We then look at the graphs that scientists have composed that show how our climate has fluctuated over the years. The pupils will have a large A3 activity sheet to fill in as the lesson progresses. The second section looks at ice cores and how they have helped the scientists formulate records of past climates. We then look at the impacts of global climate change and how they might also be evidence for climate change too. The pupils will write down their own ideas then elaborate with the help of the slides and some video clips.</p> <p>We finish with GCSE-style question with some suggested content if they need help.</p> <p>In a nutshell lesson includes:</p> <p>Picture interpretation starter<br /> A3 activity sheet on the evidence for climate change<br /> Video clips where appropriate<br /> GCSE-style question with guidance on suggested content.</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>
