Temperature and rainfall in England and Kenya - Worksheet

The worksheet on temperature and rainfall in England and Kenya encourages students to closely examine climate charts and discuss their observations with a partner. It prompts learners to summarise their findings regarding two key climatic factors: temperature and rainfall. By comparing and contrasting the data presented in the charts, students can gain insights into the distinct climate patterns of England and Kenya. This comparative analysis not only enhances their understanding of meteorological differences but also leads to a broader discussion on how these variations in climate could impact daily life and the environment in each country.

As part of the learning activity, students are asked to reflect on how their lives might change if they were to live in Kenya instead of England. They consider the main differences between the temperate climate of England and the tropical or equatorial climate of Africa. This exercise is designed to develop critical thinking skills by encouraging students to think about the practical implications of climate on lifestyle, agriculture, and infrastructure, as well as to foster an appreciation for the diversity of global weather patterns and their influence on different cultures and societies.
