social studies weather and climate

  DOCX, 343.55 KB A record sheet for children to record different aspects of the weather during the school week. Includes an example day to give the children an idea on how to fill it in. The fully editable document includes spaces for temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, precipitation and other types of weather. They could measure local weather conditions or find the information from a weather forecast or a mixture of the two. I selected different children to record the weather on different days. As a follow up activity, the data can then be graphed and analysed and compared to the climate records.

  Weather and climate Meaning of weather - Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a given place over a short period of time, usually 24 hours.  - Here is a diagram with examples of different types of weather. Meaning of c limate - Climate is the average weather usually taken over a 30-year time period for a particular region and time period.  - Climate is not the same as weather, but rather, it is the average pattern of weather for a particular region. Weather Methods of observing weather. Traditional methods Traditional methods include observing the following: Migration of certain types of birds.   Dew on the grass early in the morning Presence of the full moon Other methods include: The croaking of frogs. The direction and strength of the wind. Different types of clouds present in the sky. Different types of clouds in the sky. Appearance and movement of ants. Appearance of the rainbow. Behaviour of cattle. The shedding of leaves of some trees. Appearance of thunder and lightni

  The statements,   "Its rainy today."   and   "It's always rainy in July."  emanate from two different concepts. The first refers to the current atmospheric conditions on a particular day. The second indicates an expectation of the weather conditions based on a norm. It is often said that climate is what you expect and weather is what you get! A more geographic explanation is   weather is the current condition of the atmosphere over a few days to a few months.  This includes factors such as rainfall and temperature.  Climate is the average weather conditions of a place over a period of at least 30 years.  Weather Climate

  Elements of weather: Wind  is air in motion. Air molecules tend to move from areas of high pressure to low pressure. Theoretically, cold dense air from the Polar regions should blow towards the equator and fill the void where heat warms up the air and causes air molecules to rise and spread out . However, the spinning of the Earth exerts a force on these currents of air, making them deflect to the left in the Northern Hemisphere and to the right in the Southern Hemisphere. This is called the Coriolis Effect. Other local factors affect wind speed and direction such as the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, and the presence of mountains. Winds transport heat and coldness, moisture and dust for great distances and is has a significant influence on weather conditions. Wind speed is measured by an  anemometer  while wind direction is measured by a  wind vane or wind sock . The Coriolis effect

 

 SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS-V Lesson-4 Weather and Climate Weather is a temporary phenomenon. It changes everyday. It may change even during the same day. Sometimes a sunny weather in the morning turns cloudy or windy in the evening. Every day we watch the weather report on TV or read the weather forecast in the newspaper and plan our clothing and activities accordingly. Thus, weather is the condition of atmosphere at a particular place on particular day or time. The condition of air, temperature, wind, humidity and rainfall at a particular time determines the weather of that place. The climate is the sum total of the weather at a place over a very long period of time. The weather of a place may keep changing but the climate of a place remains more or less the same year after year. Weather data collected over several decades are used to make climate graphs. Factors influencing the climate The factors that influence the climate are: 1. Distance from the Equator The climate of a place is great

  The elements of weather and climate are those quantities or properties that are measured regularly. The six main elements are weather and climate are temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation, and cloudiness. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Humidity depends on the temperature and pressure of the system of interest.
