  1. From weather to climate By the end of the lesson… • ALL Level 6 • Will create 2 living graphs for contrasting climates and compare these climates. • SOME Level 7 • Will progress to explainwhy the 2 places have such contrasting climates and suggest solutions to climate issues. L/O: To explain what climate is To apply this understanding to climate graphs Starter: In pairs play weather dominoes. Match the key word with the meaning... Which pair will win? Write down new words and research them later! Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.

  2. What is weather? What is climate? Recap of understanding... Without looking back in your books explain the difference between weather and climate. Weather is...whereas climate is...

  4. Climate is the average weather in a place. It tells you what the weather is usually like, in any given month. To do this, meteorologists take measurements everyday, over a long period of time (25-30 years). Then they calculate the average for each month. Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.

  5. England’s Climate Graph • A climate graph shows a bar chart and line graph together • Think – pair – share • What does the bar chart show ? • What does the line graph show? • Which two months are usually hottest in London ? • Which month is usually driest ? Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.

  6. Living Graphs Graphs do not just represent data and figures. They are helpful for real life too. You need to decide where the statements best fit on the graph. Simply put the number of the statement on the graph. You need to have a reason for your choice too! Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.

  7. Look at the England Climate Graph. Simply put the number of the statement on the graph. You then need to have a list of reasons for each choice too! 12 minutes max Stu has to play hockey on the Astroturf not on the hockey field 2.

Most of the population depend on cultivation, fishing or farming. Imagine life here. How does the climate affect their lives and how is it different to ours in England? Reflect on the statements for the England climate graph. TASK: Now, create your own living graph statements for Mali in January, May and August.

  11. L/O: To explain what climate is To apply this understanding to climate graphs By the end of the lesson… • ALL Level 6 • Will create 2 living graphs for contrasting climates and compare these climates. • SOME Level 7 • Will progress to explainwhy the 2 places have such contrasting climates and suggest solutions to climate issues. Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.

  12. England’s Climate Graph Mali’s Climate Graph Insert Mali climate graph • TASK: Compare the climates of England and Mail. • Getting started... • Which is hotter/colder? • Which gets more rain? • What is the temperature/rainfall like in specific months? • How do these climates create issues for people? Always use temperature and rainfallfigures from the graphs Climate graph Rainfall (mm) Temperature (°C) England Mali Temperate Western Africa Month Ext Explain why the 2 places have such different climates. Are there solutions to the climate issues for people? Beth Harries, Central Foundation Boys' School, London.
