Task one: What are the features of a climate graph?

Bars to show precipitation (rainfall, snow, sleet,or hail)(blue) Line to show maximum and minimum temperature (red & blue) Correctly labelled axis’ Title of graph Task one: What are the features of a climate graph?

Task two: exploring US climate data Go to Us Climate Data website:

In your group choose one state to research and complete the climate worksheet. For example: o Alaska o Arizona o New York o Florida Task two: exploring US climate data Remember: access the data in degrees Celsius (°C) and millimetres (mm) rather than Fahrenheit and inches.

Task two: exploring US climate data Class discussion: What’s the weather like in the state that you have researched? Would pupils like to live in the state that they have researched? Why?

Task three: investigating climatic regions in the USA Mississippi Flooding Storyboard Details, causes and impacts table California Droughts Mapping California Causes and impacts table 1993 Mississippi Flood © Wikipedia
