Description: Climographs show the average temperature and precipitation in an area over the course of the year. Websites like climatecharts.net can be used to quickly identify patterns of climate around the world. Students can also ask causation questions related to the climate differences (e.g. How do mountains and wind patterns affect the climate in an area?, How do large bodies of water affect the climate in an area?)

Weather vs. Climate: What's the difference?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Weather is a specific event-like a rainstorm or hot day-that happens over a few hours, days or weeks. Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over 30 years or more. NASA has observed that Earth's climate is getting warmer.

Vanessa Nakate is a climate activist from Uganda, and a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. She spoke with TFK Kid Reporter Celsey O'Hare.

1. What does it mean to be a UNICEF goodwill ambassador?

I get to meet people on the front lines of the climate crisis. It's my role to amplifying × amplify SVETLANA REPNITSKAYA-GETTY IMAGES to make something stronger, bigger, or more intense (verb) Hearing aids amplify sound. their voices. I want to shine a light on the issue of climate change and how it's affecting people, especially children.

2. You've given speeches about the impact of climate change. Which has been your most powerful?

I spoke at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Glasgow, Scotland. I got to ask government leaders, and also business leaders, to do the right thing to ensure that our planet is protected.

3. What's the hardest part of being an activist?

One of the hardest things is seeing the consequences of climate change. For example, the drought × drought EDWIN REMSBERG-GETTY IMAGES a prolonged period of little or no rainfall (noun) The crops failed because of drought. in the Horn of Africa, the flooding in Pakistan, or the recent hurricanes in the United States.

4. What keeps you motivated to fight climate change?

I'm motivated by young people like you. You're interviewing me, and I think that's so inspiring. It gives me the energy for what I'll do tomorrow.

5. What's the most recent climate-related project you've worked on?

I have a project that I started in 2019. We give solar panels to schools in Uganda. And clean cooking stoves [which are better for the environment].

6. What's next for you?

I hope to get more solar panels and stoves for schools. And I hope to continue speaking up for people's right to food, clean water, and shelter.

7. UNICEF recently had its 75th anniversary. How would you like to carry its mission forward?

I plan to use my platform to talk about the need for protecting children. Especially children who are suffering because of extreme weather events caused by climate change.

8. Climate change can feel overwhelming and scary for some kids. What advice do you have for them?

Just find one thing you can do. No person is too small to make a difference. No action is too small to transform the world.

DRY SKIES: CHECK OUT PINECONES

Pinecones are one way to tell if dry weather is coming. Pinecones open their scales when the weather gets extremely dry. They do this to scatter their seeds. When the air is moist, they close up to keep their seeds dry. Pine seeds are transported by the wind, so they have to stay as dry and as light as possible in order to fly. Dust and sand, of course, travel in much the same way. So if a pinecone's scales are open, be on the lookout for dry weather.

Climate Change and the Pacific Islands | PBS LearningMedia

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Communities in the Pacific Islands are already feeling the impacts of sea level rise, extreme weather events, and other evidence of climate change. The media resources in this collection examine ecosystems on volcanic high islands and low-lying atolls and the climate-related threats to these ecosystems. They also highlight human activities that strengthen or weaken ecosystems, as well as actions that islanders are taking to reduce the threats they face and help preserve their future.

Dear Pranav,

If you're anything like me, one of the first things you'll do in the morning is check the weather. Sometimes it's rainy and I'll put on my rubber boots. Other days it's really sunny and I'll grab my sunglasses. When we look at the patterns of these weather conditions over a long time-sometimes over hundreds of years-we can learn about a place's climate.

My friend Marc Kramer is really curious about how the land, ocean, air, and living things are connected-especially when it comes to climate. Kramer is an environmental scientist at Washington State University who researches climate change.

When gases in the air trap heat, air temperatures can rise. These changes can affect the way we live in different ways, Kramer said.

Imagine for a moment, you are a fisherman. You have to fish to make a living and make sure people have a source of food. But as warmer air warms up the ocean, it makes living conditions hard for the fish. Fisherman can't catch and sell seafood like they used to, which means less food for people to buy, too.

Meanwhile, lots of animals who live in polar regions see changes in their habitats. As air temperatures get warmer, polar ice caps and ice sheets melt. This not only impacts animals in these polar regions, but also humans who live on coasts. As ice near the poles melts, we see more flooding and people having to flee their homes.

As the air temperature rises, scientists note that snow melts earlier and there are more really hot summer days. Rain, snow and other kinds of precipitation start to fall in unusual patterns. Heat and drought make it harder for plants to grow. This means if you are a farmer, your plants struggle. Farmers feed a lot of us, so these changes affect people who like to eat dinner, too.

Kramer said the warming of our planet will produce many surprises in the weather and the ways we live. It's hard to know exactly how, because it will vary with where you live.

Some of my friends at Washington State University are finding ways to help with these challenges. Scientists are looking at ways to grow food in severe heat or drought. Engineers are coming up with ways to power our planet with new fuels. They are working on all kinds of big questions about how climate change affects us. Sometimes that means investigating questions about water, health, and all kinds of living things.

Kramer told me about a few things we can do to help, too. One thing we can do is ask great questions like yours. We can take actions like using solar panels to power buildings. We can use electric cars. We can buy food that is produced close to our homes and that was grown in earth-friendly ways. We can also help others look for new ways to make changes, big or small, that can help this planet we call home.

Sincerely,
Dr. Universe
