Climograph for Omaha, Nebraska

Guiding Inquiry: What is the significance of temperature, precipitation, and altitude in helping to determine the climate characteristics of a region? (3.2.a)

Guiding Thought Question: How would you explain the climate of Omaha to someone who has never been here before? For spring, summer, fall, and winter write generally what someone could expect for temperature and precipitation patterns for each of the seasons.

Today's Learning Objective: Students will investigate the Koppen Climate Classification system and how it is used to group areas into regions based on their physical characteristics by going through guided instruction on the system and then creating and interpreting a climograph.
