Teachers, check out these great graphics! This is how I kick off my Meteorology unit, asking students to record what they think the difference is between weather & climate. (They often think weather = precip & climate = temp.) We revisit at end of unit.

Weather and climate are connected, but they are not the same. Weather is what we experience day to day. Climate is the longer-term patterns that help explain what is changing, what is becoming more likely, and what communities may need to prepare for. Climate.us helps make those connections clearer.

Teachers, if you are planning ahead, this site is live! I’m so relieved that I don’t have to recreate my climate lessons! 🌡️🌦️🌪️🌊📈📉📊
