Description

This unit teaches pupils about the physical processes that help explain our weather and climate. Pupils will use fieldwork to investigate weather in their local area. Pupils will also learn about how and why our climate is changing.

This unit develops pupils' understanding of weather and climate at different scales and how it impacts people and the planet around the world. Teaching this unit early in Year 7 allows pupils to use their knowledge to make sense of later units on coasts, forest biomes and population. By covering climate change in this unit it allows pupils to consider the impact of global warming in units across the curriculum.
