In this lesson plan students will learn about how climates differ, in particular, how desert climates compare to climates in other areas. They will also learn how meteorologists collect all kinds of weather data, including daily high and low temperatures and average monthly rainfall, from all over the world. Students will use similar weather data to create a graph comparing three climates.
