Duration:
from September 2008 to June 2010

Aims: In our 2-year climate study students will take accurate readings of temperature, record their results conventionally, graph them and use digital methods. Students will be able to use their own results from 9 European countries to predict, and use their thinking skills to problem solve in Maths and Science lessons.

Activities: Take temperature daily, note days with precipitation. Plot results on a line graph. Upload onto a web page.
Pupils take digital photographs of weather, upload onto web page and use a selection for final presentation.
E-mail partner schoolchildren use the weather as a starting point for conversation.

Finished Products: Two years of Temperature charts for 9 European countries.
Two years of graphs showing number of days rain for 9 European countries.
