18. Microclimates

In this lesson we investigate the factors which can help create a microclimate and introduce fieldwork opportunities within the school grounds.

Secondary Geography

17. Depressions

In this lesson we look at the causes of Low pressure systems and the weather they bring to the UK.

Secondary Geography

16. Anticyclones

In this lesson we look at the weather associated with anticyclones in summer and winter and its potential impacts.

Secondary Geography

15. Climate Crisis

In this lesson we explore the language used to talk about climate change and look in detail at sea level rise, tipping points and

Secondary Geography

14. Changing UK Climate

In this lesson we use the Central England Temperature record to explore changing UK weather and look at the projected impacts of climate change

Secondary Geography

13. UK Climate

In this lesson we revisit climate zones before exploring regional climate differences across the UK and the reasons for them.

Secondary Geography

12. Changing Global Climate

In this lesson we look at this historical relationship between carbon dioxide and global temperature and the Greenhouse Effect

11. Hot Deserts

In this lesson we look at the characteristics and locations of hot deserts and the adaptations of animals and vegetation found there.

Secondary Geography

10. Polar Climate

In this lesson we investigate why polar climates are so extreme and how it can be too cold to snow in Antarctica.

Depressions – Identifying Features

Worksheet to link words an images to features on a weather (synoptic) chart

Secondary Geography

Pop-up Depression

Print, cut-out and fold along the lines to make a 3D model of a depression.

Secondary Geography

9. Water in the Atmosphere

In this lesson, we focus on cloud formation due to convection, orography (relief) and frontal uplift.

Secondary Geography

Passage of a Depression – Account

Use the following help sheet to write a fictional story about the passing of a depression.

Secondary Geography

Drawing Pressure and Temperature Contours (Intermediate)

Drawing Temperature and Pressure Contours Lines of equal temperature – temperature contours, are called isotherms. In this exercise, the task is to draw the 8.5°C,

Secondary Geography

Drawing Pressure and Temperature Contours (Harder)

Drawing Isobars Isobars are lines of constant pressure. Drawing the isobars reveals features (eg highs, lows, ridges and troughs) which help us understand the

Secondary Geography

8. Pressure and Wind

In this lesson we introduce air pressure, how differences in pressure can lead to air motion (wind) and how rising and sinking air can

Secondary Geography

7. Air Masses

In this lesson we investigate the characteristics of the major air masses which can affect the British Isles
