A great quote by Samuel Johnson in The Idler, it's lifted my spirits after having a run-in with the accommodation office at Leicester, hopefully I will be able to tell you more if have anywhere to live on Monday. Back to the quote, weather is fantastic, it is the state of the atmosphere at a local level, usually on a short time scale of minutes to months. Looking at the aspects of the atmosphere that affect human activity- sunshine, clouds, rainfall and humidity. Year 7s could create a weather diary of the last 5 days.
Climate is concerned with the long term behaviour of the atmosphere in a specific area. Data is built up daily, monthly. Climate graphs shows data for mean precipitation (blue rectangles) and average temperature each month.
Possible activities- a game which girls compete against boys or rows to read a climate graph and able to wear the appropriate clothes that are at front of the room. Use a computer to create a weather presentation and present to the class, which is assessed by the individual, peers and the teacher.
Sorry for the lack of illustrations, I blame the accommodation office for wasting my valuable time. I will add more tomorrow.
