Temperate climate zones 1. (a) Choose five capital cities from the list you created earlier. In the first column of the table, write five cities and the countries they are located in. (b) Scan the ∑R code or go to and type each city into the search bar to locate climate data. Record key information about the climate in each city using the table, including the hottest/coldest months and the wettest/driest months. Temperature Rainfall Humidity 2. Scan the ∑R code or go to to research the characteristics of the temperate climate zone. Click on the links for maritime and continental climates to read more information. Record similarities and differences between maritime and continental climates using the Venn diagram.

Polar climate zones Lesson objectives XXIdentifying the location of countries that experience a polar climate and their proximity to majors lines of latitude XXExamining climate data from four countries in the polar climate zones to identify similarities and differences between countries in polar ice cap and tundra regions, and briefly comparing this to a population density map 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 polar climate zone in relation to the major lines of latitude. In pairs, students use Google Earth and a note-taking app (Notes) to list as many countries in the polar climate zone as possible in five minutes. Development XXIn groups of four, allocate one of the following countries to each student—Russia, Canada, Greenland and Finland. Individually, students use Google Earth to locate their allocated country and record it’s location on page 33. Students then use the QR code or URL on page 33 to locate and record general climate information for their country, and specific climate data for three cities in their country. XXAs a class, watch the video Polar climate zone: Ice caps and tundra at . Students use a T-chart to record information about each climate region. XXIn their groups, students share their research and draw conclusions about the weather and climate in the polar climate zone. Students then use Google Earth to locate the four countries and discuss the colouration of each to determine what the white represents, and which countries they think are covered by polar ice caps. XXIn their groups, students use a video camera app or presentation app of their choice to explain the weather and climate in the polar region. Students take turns to describe the weather and climate in the country they researched and provide their opinion about whether they could live in countries located in the polar climate zone. Conclusion XXDisplay the World population density map from 2001 at . Explain that the map shows the population compared to the area of land. In pairs, students discuss how climate may contribute to the low population density of countries in the polar zone. Resources XXWorld map—four major climate zones XXGoogle Earth XXiPad ® /tablet with QR scanner, a notetaking app (Notes) and a video camera or selection of presentation apps XXPage 33 XXVideo—Polar climate zone: Ice caps and tundra XXWorld map—population density 2001 Travelling further Students watch a video about climate research in Antarctica at . Students decide if they are for or against the researchers drilling into the ice sheets to assist with data collection, then create a digital or written persuasive news article using their opinion about the research.
