Weather & Climate Teaching Pack: KS4 & A

This teachers’ resource pack on weather and climate is designed
primarily for A-level geography and science courses, although it may
be useful for both final year GCSE and first year undergraduate
options as well.
The resource consists of 12 lessons, 8 dealing with the weather and
4 with climate. Each lesson consists of information sheets for both
students and teachers, a series of questions for students to attempt
in class, and a set of notes and question answers for teachers.
