Weather & Climate
Overview
FBV: Tolerance – to understand that there are places in the world that are different to our biome.
Cultural Capital: This topic aims to take a closer look at climate and see exactly how it works, how to predict it and how it changes over time. This leads well into looking at weather becoming more extreme across the world. This is a vital part of culture with climate change coming to the forefront of culture and therefore is important that students have a deep understanding of it.
