Description
Bring your weather and climate unit to life with this fun, 5-day project! With this resource, you will have everything you need to guide your students through this NGSS, student-centered investigation of a city of their choice.
Students will gain a real-world perspective on how the latitude, global winds, and ocean currents affect the climate of a coastal area.
This investigation is in 5 parts:
- Choose a city and determine its latitude
- Research and summarize the city's climate
- Research and model (using a provided map template) the ocean currents that neighbor the city
- Answer summary questions about how the uneven heating of the Earth creates ocean currents and how the currents that neighbor your city create the climate of the city
- Research and model (using a provided map template) the global winds that overlap with the city
- Answer summary questions about how the uneven heating of the Earth creates global winds and how the winds that neighbor your city create the climate of the city
- Write a concluding paragraph about how latitude, ocean currents, and winds create the city's climate.
Who is this resource for?
This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students in grades 6-9. It comprehensively covers the topics mentioned and provides opportunities for student responses which can be implemented in a whole group lesson or assigned for homework.
