Weather and Climate is an important topic covering a wide range of
subjects and areas of interest. From the evening weather forecast,
to global warming, from different types of weather, to movement

lives of children. As such, this CD-ROM focuses on providing resources
to help teach Weather and Climate as a topic in schools - either
as small discrete topics, or as a large whole-school focus
on weather and the world around us. There are numerous opportunities
to look at all of the subjects in the curriculum in a fun and
entertaining way.

the following themes: 1. Sun and Earth (heat and seasons, thermometers);
