Weather and ClimateTASC
Topic overview:
This unit focuses on patterns and processes associated with weather and climate. Pupils carry out a range of investigation into local and wider afield weather situations and begin to explore how various factors affect the weather/climate in a place.Pupils are encouraged to work together to produce a weather forecast for a particular location and to choose a suitable holiday destination for a family with particular interests. In carrying out these activities they engage in enquiry-based learning and problem solving, interpret weather maps and satellite images, use ICT skills and learn to draw and interpret climate graphs.Pupils distinguish between weather and climate and identify how human activities may be linked with climate patterns; the more detailed study of air masses is left until key stage 4.
Assessment
Pupils carry out a Microclimate Investigation (enquiry) around the school.
The work build on the basic understanding of weather recording carried out in primary schools as part of our PRIMARY- SECONDARY TRANSITIONAL links Homework
