The climate however, is a trend over an extended period of time. Winter temperatures can vary just as much.

Ask: What are the factors that affect extreme weather? Elicit responses from students such as: the sun ( temperature), water ( precipitation), and other atmospheric conditions like jet stream, pressure, wind, humidity, and clouds.ДЈ. Then ask: What are the necessary conditions for each weather event to occur? Elicit responses from students such as: differences in circulating air masses, clashing warm and cool air masses ( fronts), and jet streams. Then, show the National Geographic video вЂњWeather 101.вЂќ Ask students to describe the extreme weather events.

Tony Phillips, who is evaluating the concept in classrooms. 'Planets in a Bottle is a simple way to test the viability of yeast samples, and a great way to teach young students about conditions on other planets,' explained Dr. Invite volunteers to read aloud each caption.
