These photos could be used to introduce a topic about Mongolia, explore the wildlife or draw comparisons between Mongolia and the UK. They are all taken by me. They show a black squirrel, the dusty roads, landscapes, Takhi horses (Przewalski’s horse), marmots, a ger settlement, an eagle in the sky, a crane and some deer. Pack includes 16 photographs on slides.

In this lesson you will make observations to answer the big question - why is it cloudier in the UK than in Mongolia? The children will make clouds in small groups with an adult. This was a science observation lesson that went very well and really engaged the children in some meaningful science. It was in the summer term so the children were able to complete tasks more independently and had prior knowledge about weather. It fits with e Pzaz scheme of learning in Year 2 weather. Pack includes PPT, worksheets and lesson plan.
