I mentioned the Interactive Climate Map last month. I used it with a class yesterday and devised a simple exercise that I’ve written up on Juicy Geography

Students interpret climate graphs and then quickly design an appropriate costume based on the data in the graph. I sold it as a kind of Project Geography Catwalk and it was very successful!

It’s a simple and effective idea for introducing students to climate graphs.

Guides to graph drawing with Excel (inlcuding a suggested method for producing climate graphs) can be found at Learning and Teaching Scotland.
