Weather Around the World



This session looks at the difference between 'climate', 'weather' and 'extreme weather'. We look at what is 'normal' depending on where we are in the world.
​
We explore extreme weather events and where they are most likely to occur...what is the difference between a hurricane and tornado and how each are formed.
​
Extreme weather events are viewed through exciting video clips as well as stories of my own experience in the UK hurricane of 1987.
​
We also look briefly at the famous Hollywood film to feature a tornado - The Wizard of Oz.
​
I have another version of this presentation geared to younger children in Years 1 and 2.
