On the National Grid Four Seasons web site you will find three school based projects and a range of environmental education resources for schools. Each project is related to the weather and makes use of data collected from automatic weather stations at a series of sites in England. The information is carefully linked to National Curriculum programmes of study for Geography and Science at Keystages 2 and 3 covering:

  • Systematic enquiry
  • Obtaining evidence
  • Thematic studies - weather
  • Planning experimental procedures
  • Geographical skills - comparing and contrasting weather patterns
