- Colour your own world map using the following picture as a guide (remember to complete the legend!)
- Identify the characteristics for each of the regions.
- Which countries might have these climates?
- Discuss the similarities and differences:
- Visit a place in Canada on Google Maps and compare the weather to our own (temperature and rainfall for the year)
o What types of vegetation would you find in the polar zone? Temperate zone? Tropical zone?
o What would it be like to live in the polar zone? Temperate zone? Tropical zone?
o What types of houses would be found in the polar zone? Temperate zone? Tropical zone?
o What building materials would be used to construct houses in the polar zone? Temperate zone? Tropical zone?
o What types of clothing would people wear in the polar zone? Temperate zone? Tropical zone?
