2 part lesson on Microclimates - KS3 Geography

This resource consists of a power point which covers 2 lessons (all required worksheets are included and teacher notes in the notes area of each slide). The topic is microclimates. It allows you to teach: what a microclimate is and about 5 things that create microclimates - physical features, shelter, buildings, surface and aspect.

Each lesson includes both interactive areas and teacher led areas. I have used this with Year 7 classes but it could be used with any KS3 class.

The learning objectives for both lessons are as follows:

• we can understand what the term microclimate means.
• we can describe what a microclimate is.
• we can explain why weather and temperature varies from place to place.

On each slide the objective being worked on at that time is highlighted to ensure pupils are conscious of their progress at all times.
