Introduction

This teachers' resource pack on Weather and Climate is designed for use with Key Stage 3 pupils, primarily within the geography curriculum.

The resource consists of 7 sections on Weather and 2 sections on Climate. Each section is followed by a number of exercises for pupils. These can be used by the teacher as follow up work during the lesson or for homework. It is not necessarily intended that all exercises be completed, but to be used by the teacher as time (and facilities) allow.

It is hoped that this Teaching Pack will be useful and informative. If you have any criticisms, comments or ideas on how the pack could be improved, we would be pleased to hear from you. Our contact details are below:
