Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Climates. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Weather is defined as the conditions of the atmosphere at a particular place and time.(ES)
Some measures of weather include temperature, precipitation, and wind direction.
Coastal climates typically have year-round precipitation and a narrow range in temperature between summer and winter.
Coastal climates are found along ocean coastlines.
Climate describes the typical weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
Climate zones are determined by the latitude of the region.
Climate types are determined by the geography of a region, such as proximity to mountains and oceans.
Major climate types are classified according to average temperature and precipitation.
In tropical climate zones, weather is typically hot all year long and can be wet or dry.
Tropical climate zones are typically located near the equator.
In temperate climate zones, the summers and winters have milder temperatures and variable precipitation.
In polar climate zones, temperatures are cold all year and tend to be dry.
Polar climate zones are located closer to Earth’s north and south poles.
Dry climates receive very little precipitation while wet climates receive more precipitation.
Continental climates are found inland, away from oceans.
Continental climates typically have a large range in temperature between summer and winter.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game

After the Game
What did you learn is the difference between the weather and the climate? Name three things that prevented the plants from growing? How were plants able to grow in the arctic environment? Why did the seedlings need traverse frogs in the desert?
