The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, COP30, will be taking place in Brazil this year.
In this resource, students will use climate graphs taken from Copernicus’ ERA explorer, to determine which climate zone three cities in Brazil are in; Belém, Quixeramobim and Porto Alegre.
The cities have been chosen to represent Tropical, Dry and Temperate climate zones respectively.
The worksheet is adaptable so that you can choose which parts are appropriate for your class.
Learning Objectives include:
- To practice identifying climate zones
- To practice data skills such as addition, mean and sum as well as interpreting graphs.
- To be able to construct a climate graph.
