Teacher to go through the answers with students. Nominating
students to answer each question praising students on
responses and efforts.
DEVELOPMENT
Recognise and recall climatic elements.
20

Demonstrating skills and abilities of

interpreting climatic data.

Teacher to lead a class discussion climate graphs.

- what is climate ? define climate
- features of climate

What information can we find on a climate graph ?

Creating a mind map of different student contributions of

different elements of a climate graph.

This allows students to share ideas of what they think a
climate graph is. As well as allows the teacher to evaluate
students understanding.
Construct a climate graph
Task : Interpret the climatic data provided
and construct a climate graph in your
groups.

Defining climate graphs.

Definition
Climate graphs: display the average temperature and rainfall
experienced at a particular place though out the year. They
consist of a line graph showing the average monthly
temperature and a column graph showing the average monthly
rainfall
Features of a climate graph
Annotate features of a climate graph.
Students to help highlight or point key points. Ie graphs, scale,
features. Worksheet
Climatic Data
Explains climatic data and construct a climate graph with
features and calculation.
Students to discuss features of a climate graph working to find
solutions.
Students to interpret climatic data provided and construct a
climate graphs.
Once completed students to glue their sheets in and answer
questions in their workbooks.
Teacher- provides time warnings or indicators of time and an
expected amount of work to be completed within the period.

CLOSURE
