After each lesson or group of lessons I will write the aims and a brief summary of what the lesson covered on the blog. There will also be links to useful websites and videos to help you revise throughout the year.
Exam questions and ideal exam answers will also be posted and you can answer the questions online.
Make sure you can use the scale on a map to calculate distance and area. Below are some PowerPoints from class covering this and some good videos for guidance.
It is possible you may get a weather map to read in your Skills paper - here is a really good video explaining how to interpret a synoptic weather map!
You need to be able to describe what the weather would be like in different places on a map.
High Pressure = Air is sinking. Unlikely to get any precipitation (rain, snow, hail, sleet). Unlikely to be cloudy. In summer = hot or warm weather with clear skies. In winter = cold clear days. Low Pressure = Air is rising. Likely to get clouds and precipitation (rain, snow, hail, sleet). In winter = cloudy wet days but can be warmer than expected. In summer = cloudy wet days, can be colder than expected for the time of year. Blue triangles = Cold Front Red semicircles = Warm Front
