Climate on arrival

Our new ELI today is 'Climate on arrival: if you suddenly arrived somewhere – what would tell you what the climate was like?'

This activity involves looking for features with your class that might be indicators of the current climate. After the activity the pupils can describe features of their local environment, noting not only natural aspects (vegetation) but also human influences (buildings, clothes). They can also explain the connections between the clues they have identified and the local climate.
Other activities related to environments can be found on our website by using the search engine or the alphabetical index.
