Task 4: Geographical skills!A. Use your worksheet to plot a climate graph showing rainfall (mm) and temperature (C) for Grenada.

Temperature plotted in RED and rainfall in blue (see next slide)

B. In your exercise books.

Write a 100 word climate report for Grenada include facts and figures in your answer .

Challenge task:

Use the next slide to compare the climate of Grenada to the climate of London

Plenary: A. Working in pairs (only write in one persons exercise book) B. use ½ a page to copy and complete the spider map to show how the weather affects our lives (10 mins)

L/O: to investigate how the Sun and water vapour cause the weather

Answer: P. 35

What causes weather?L/O: to investigate how the Sun and

water vapour cause the weather

Starter: Below are five facts about the weather, rank them in order from 1 to 5

Weather is the state of the atmosphere around us. (Warm ? wet ? windy ?) It can change from hour to hour.

The main causes of weather are the sun, and water vapour.

Climate is the ‘average’ weather in a place – what it is usually like there.

Climate changes from place to place, because of factors such as distance from the equator, and from the sea.

The Earth can be divided into different climate regions.
