Research activity: climate graph
1. Acceptable humidity and temperature
What you need to do:
 Work with your group members, find a location that conforms to the acceptable
humidity and temperature condition.
 Write down the name of location as the title of your poster.
 Research the place and explain what environmental & human factors (e.g.,
climate, population, natural resources, affordability, services, hazards, crime,
pollution, sense of community) contribute to it having such high or low liveability.
 Simply draw down the climate graph of the location you picked.
 Describe the climate of your location, including the following elements of climate:
o The rainfall pattern: Mention whether rainfall is consistent during the year
or if there are clear wet and dry seasons. Mention the highest rainfall
month and any periods with little or no rainfall.
o The temperature pattern: Mention periods of warmer and colder
temperatures if these occur. State whether there is a more even
temperature throughout the year state. Use temperature figures in your
description.
 Try to point out some of characteristics of climate. For example:
o Places nearer to the Equator are warmer than places closer to the poles.
They also tend to be wetter with rainfall occurring throughout the year.
o Places near or beside oceans have milder climates with fewer extremes
than places in the centre of large land masses.
o Places at high altitude are colder than places at sea level. They are often
wetter as well.
 You will be required to present your poster in front of the class. Each of you need
to present a part of your poster.
2. Tolerable humidity and temperature
What you need to do:
 Work with your group members, find a location that conforms to the tolerable
humidity and temperature condition.
 Write down the name of location as the title of your poster.
 Research the place and explain what environmental & human factors (e.g.,
climate, population, natural resources, affordability, services, hazards, crime,
pollution, sense of community) contribute to it having such high or low liveability.

3. Uncomfortable humidity and temperature
What you need to do:
 Work with your group members, find a location that conforms to the
uncomfortable humidity and temperature condition.
 Write down the name of location as the title of your poster.
 Research the place and explain what environmental & human factors (e.g.,
climate, population, natural resources, affordability, services, hazards, crime,
pollution, sense of community) contribute to it having such high or low liveability.

4. Undesirable humidity and temperature
What you need to do:
 Work with your group members, find a location that conforms to the undesirable
humidity and temperature condition.
