This lesson is to be a final tie up in understanding weather. By this time the students would know what weather is. They should know that weather includes elements such as temperature, humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, wind and pressure. They should know that these elements are organized into various systems. Some systems create severe weather such as monsoons, areas of high and low pressure, thunderstorms, and tornadoes.
All weather systems are cycles that are moved by the laws of heat and motion.
The new concept being introduced is that climate is the weather of a particular region experiences over a long period of time. It includes the averages and variations of all weather elements. Before beginning, collect print materials on weather and meteorology. Visit the specific websites that are printed at the end of this lesson plan. These web sites are designed for students.
