Changing weather and our environment

In this activity students investigate the difference between climate and weather, and speculate how changes in weather and climate might affect plants, animals and people. They begin the activity by watching a clip comparing climate and weather and then answering a series of questions related to the clip. They then work in groups to create mind maps describing how they think different changes to climate (e.g. hotter, colder, wetter, drier, stormier) will affect animals, plants and weather, and make suggestions as to how might be able to help plants and animals prepare for these weather events.
