This unit focuses on how the weather can effect our daily lives. It investigates the factors which effect the weather and climate of an area. Explores how the data for weather can be acquired, measured, displayed and interpreted. Develops an understanding of the different ways in which it can rain, how location impacts temperature and how air pressure effects the weather conditions. An investigation of climate change will also take place.
