Climate – A Fourth Grade PowerPoint Introduction is a PowerPoint 4th grade level instructional presentation

It includes: a PowerPoint presentation of the text along with two editable slides that are also available in PDF format to print and issue as classwork, homework, or attach/incorporate into an interactive notebook.

The presentation includes:

• Introduction to climate terminology

• Explanation of 5 basic climate types (tropical, dry, temperate, cool, and polar)

• 3 factors determining climate (latitude, ocean currents, and global winds)

• How bodies of water affect climate

• Mountains and climate

The last 2 slides are white-background slides used for the printables. They are not included in the total pages. I include them in case you would like to change any of the data and recreate the printables.

The editable slides and printables:

• Activity one has students matching the 5 climate types to pictures and descriptions

• Activity two has students moving descriptions to a picture representing inland and coastal areas. Descriptions include (more cloudy, less cloudy, more precipitation, less precipitation, dry, wet, warmer, and cooler).
