Learning Challenges:
To find out what the weather is in your school grounds.
To use different weather instruments to record information about the weather.
To observe how weather varies at different times and in different places.
To record weather observations using a table.
We will be using the following geographical terms:
Weather: the atmospheric conditions we experience in a place at a point in time. As we are all too familiar in the UK our weather changes frequently.
Season: is a division of the year, marked by average changes in the weather. In the UK these are named as spring, summer, autumn and winter
Climate: this is the averaging out of weather conditions over a period of years (usually over 30 years), which provides an indication of the type of weather you might experience in a particular place at a certain time of year. In terms of the difference between weather and climate - Climate is what we ‘expect’. Weather is what we ‘get’.
Temperature: is the measure of how hot or cold an area is. Wind direction: is the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Wind speed: is a measure (in mph) of how fast or slow the wind is blowing.
Precipitation: is the amount (in mm) and form in which water falls (rain, hail, sleet and snow).
Cloud types: Clouds form many different shapes and sizes. However, they can be broadly categorised into the following types: o Stratus: layers of cloud, at relatively low altitudes, o Cumulus: classic ‘fluffy’ clouds at middle altitudes and there are different types of cumulus clouds including cumulonimbus or storm clouds o Cirrus: wispy clouds at high altitudes.
There are also a wide range of other terms which pupils can use to describe and record different elements of the weather. These include:
Over the next five days we will be observing the weather in groups in our school grounds two times a day (am and pm). We will be in role as ‘weather forecasters’ or ‘meteorologists’ to feedback our findings and observations. We will also create a whole class table for the weather in London as a comparison.
You will need to record the following:
Temperature
Wind speed and direction
Precipitation (Rain fall)
Cloud type and altitude
And any other weather features e.g. a rainbow
The instruments you can use to record the weather are:
We will be recording our observations on the table below; once competed we will use this data and present it in a graph.
Messengers from God
Eid ul-Adha celebrates the time when Ibrahim had a dream which he believed was a message from Allah asking him to sacrifice his son Isma'il as an act of obedience to God.
The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should disobey Allah and spare his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.
Why do you think, in this story, Ibrahim was prepared to sacrifice his son?
Have you ever had to make a sacrifice? How did it make you feel?
