Thanks, Julie!<br /><br />I also really like this example:<br />https://spark.ucar.edu/climate-bathtub-model-animations<br /><br /><br />Anyone else? What do YOU use to help students understand the difference?

I really like this video:<br /><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/e0vj-0imOLw">http://youtu.be/e0vj-0imOLw</a><br /><br />It relates weather and climate to walking a dog. The dog owner is climate - it heads in the same general direction. The dog is weather - the dog meanders all over the place, but follows the trend of the owner. <br /><br />I&#39;m looking forward to seeing other resources!<br /><br />Julie

Hello Teachers, Master Trainers, and GLOBE community!<br /><br />How do you teach students the difference between climate and weather? What kind of activities have you facilitated to guide students in establishing their own metaphors to understand the difference between climate and weather? How do you emphasize the time scale in climate vs weather?<br /><br />Please share your best practices and lessons learned.
