This lesson focuses on teaching Year 5 students about the diverse climate zones of South America. Students will learn about the four main climate zones — tropical, desert, temperate, and polar — and explore their characteristics, including weather patterns, vegetation, and animal life. The lesson includes a starter activity to refresh students’ knowledge of South American countries by having them label a map, followed by an introduction to the different climate zones. Through interactive and fun activities, such as mapping and matching exercises, students will deepen their understanding of how geography affects climate and ecosystems. The lesson concludes with a research project that allows students to explore one climate zone in more detail and present their findings creatively.
