World Meteorological Day - 23rd March
World Meteorological Day takes place every year on 23rd March and commemorates the establishment of the World Meteorological Organization. This collection includes a number of activities looking at the weather and climate, from measuring weather phenomena such as rainfall, wind direction and speed, to using 3D printers to create 3D models of temperature data. Also included is a video explaining how mathematical modelling is used to predict the weather.
More details about the day can be found on the World Meteorological Organization's website.
Resources for primary pupils are at the top of the list while those suitable for secondary are in the second half of the list.

Uncertainty in climate projections
Clouds reflect the sun’s light, cooling the planet, but they can also act a bit like greenhouse gases, warming the planet. In this film, Dan Grosvenor from the University of Leeds, shows how different types of cloud have a different climate effect.
In the associated activity, students will test the...
