What does climate have to do with us? The climate project was for us to research climate and the effects of outside forces on the climate and its changes. As a class we received a topic that was built around climate and climate changes. Our topic was to define climate. The definition of climate is the long-term prevailing pattern of temperature, precipitation and other weather variables at a given location. The given location variables are latitude, elevation, ocean/wind current, proximity to large bodies of water, and terrain. There are also 4 major climates on our plant. They are tropical, temperate, subarctic, and arctic. Tropical is in lower latitudes equatorial air mass and has warm weather all year long. Temperate has average yearly temperatures are not extreme. Subarctic is only found in the northern hemisphere. Arctic has cold winters and short cool summers. When teaching students about climates you can have them research the clothing, jobs, farming, hunting, housing, and hobbies people have in different climates.
We the went into the reasons for climate change, how we can help with it, and why we need to teach about it. Climate change is the process of climates shifting because of pollution and human activity. Students need to be taught the reasons for climate changes on our Earth. By teaching students how climate change works and how they can help make a difference, students can become more interested in the subject. You never know how big a change one student can make if they are just given the opportunity to make a difference.
