Temperate climate zones Lesson objectives XXIdentifying the location of countries that experience a temperate climate and their proximity to majors lines of latitude XXExamining climate data from five cities in the temperate climate zones to identify similarities and differences between countries with maritime and continental climates Lesson plan Introduction XXGo to and click on the map of the world to display the four major climate zones. Discuss the location of the temperate climate zones in relation to the major lines of latitude. In pairs, students use Google Earth and a note-taking app (Notes) to list ten capital cities that lie in the temperate climate zones. Note: Ensure cities from different continents are included. Development XXStudents select five capital cities from their list and record the city (and the country it is located in) using the table on page 31. Students then scan the QR code or use the URL to research climate data for each city and record it in the table. Students then research the characteristics of the temperate climate zones using the QR code or URL on page 31 and record similarities and differences between maritime and continental climates using the Venn diagram. XXStudents choose one of the capital cities from their table on page 31 and use a brainstorming app (Popplet) to write five inquiry questions about the weather and seasons in that city. Students research their questions and record key information using the same app. XXView the image at to show an example of a weather and seasons calendar. Individually, students use a presentation app of their choice to create a digital weather and seasons calendar for their researched city. Students include images of the weather and seasons, and complete the calendar with the current date, weather and season. Conclusion XXIn pairs, students share their time and weather charts. Together they use Google Earth to locate each city and compare their locations to the major lines of latitude. Students examine the distance of the country to surrounding oceans and seas to discuss how a countries' proximity to water affects the weather and climate.
