Extreme Weather 3.2: Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones & Mid Latitude Storms (KS3)

This is a full 1 hour KS3 lesson that investigates Hurricanes/Typhoons and Mid-latitude storms with KS3 students. The lesson is part of a unit on Extreme Weather, though it could easily be adapted to other place based examples or a general lesson on weather.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand where 2 of the world’s most damaging weather hazards occur and will begin understand why this is.'

In the lesson we look at:

-Differences between tropical storms and mid-latitude storms.
-The distribution of tropical and mid-latitude storms.
-Global atmospheric circulation (including a cut out and colour diagram).
-Why seasons happen.
-An interactive plenary.

The lesson is designed to be visually appealing, with 'to the point' content that's easy to pick up and run with at short notice.

Ease of use is my aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes fully referenced handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

Please help me out and leave a review if you like my resources, they take a lot of time and effort to produce! :)

Happy teaching!
