This video shows students a sequence of events that start with the warming of the Arctic and end with colder continents in the winter.
Students learn about new concepts and can review real-life examples of extreme weather in some countries.
Additional Prerequisites
Students need to be familiar with concepts such as sea ice and extreme weather.
There is a brief advertisement before the video.
It is recommended that the video be paused at the graphs to help students analyze the data, and paused at 1 minute 50 seconds so students can see the jet stream on the map.
Differentiation
The teacher could ask students to draw the process shown in the video from the melting of ice to the creation of larger amounts of greenhouse gases.
After watching the video, students could discuss or write an explanation of this statement, "Warm Arctic, Cold Continents."
A geography or science class could use this video for lessons about weather, climate, global wind patterns, or the effects of weather on human society and civilizations.
