Weather Watch - Unit Booket

This unit of work helps students to investigate the many aspects of weather and climate, beginning with their differences, why it’s important for us to study and try to understand it and how we observe and record weather. We study climate by reading and drawing climate graphs and maps. We look at Britain’s physical features and the effect this has on climate. The students study the hydrological cycle, why it rains, the various types of rainfall, and how we use rainwater. Depressions, anticyclones and whether thunderstorms are our friend or foe are investigated as well as the clothing associated with extreme weathers.

A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print, word-fills, reading and drawing climate graphs, map reading, personification, picto and flow diagrams and personal observation.
