Climate Sense

This worksheet prompts students to answer short-response questions about climate systems affecting Asia. Students analyze monsoons, mountain influences, coastal temperature moderation, and latitude differences. Each question requires explanation rather than recall, encouraging deeper thinking. Students explore how such climate patterns shape daily life, agriculture, and settlement.

Short-response writing builds students’ ability to express ideas in complete, clear sentences. The worksheet encourages cause-and-effect reasoning as students explain how physical factors shape climate. Students strengthen their ability to use academic vocabulary such as latitude, monsoon, and moderation. The activity also enhances geographic literacy by connecting concepts to real-world applications.
