Met Office Education resources

The Met Office website now has a new section, which has a series of curriculum linked lessons for Years 7-11 and 11-14 year old students.

They include a section on Extreme weather which would be useful for Paper 1.

As it says on the web page:
Weather and climate affect everything, from the way we live, to what we eat, to our personal safety. We want to help young people understand the wide-reaching impacts of weather and climate change locally and globally, for people, places and businesses.
Combining world-leading meteorology expertise with a sense of fun and adventure, our programme’s free set of curriculum-linked resources aim to spark students’ curiosity in the world around them and help them understand the effects of weather and climate on their community, either as a one-off activity or as part of a wider scheme of work.
Whether you're a teacher, home educator or community group leader, our resources have been designed to be flexible and help make delivery of the curriculum engaging, easy and enjoyable. Our new suite of ten lesson plans (five for primary, five for secondary) will be avialable in Welsh from Monday 10 June, and as we build our programme, we will continue to expand our Welsh-language content.
For Years 7-11 and 11.14 the lesson plans and supporting resources cover five key themes that bring learning to life.

  • Forecasting and prediction - get to grips with the subjects at the heart of weather forecasting and climate prediction
  • Extreme weather - find out about extreme weather around the world and its impacts
  • Weather and climate stories - discover who's most vulnerable to the impacts of severe weather and the people who help communities stay safe
  • Technology and innovation in weather - find out how technology and innovation influence weather forecasting, climate prediction, and crucially, how they're communicated
  • People in weather and climate - bringing to life the work of the Met Office, and other roles influenced by weather and climate
