Sweden’s Climate Contrast

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to explore climate zones, physical geography, and written explanation by comparing southern and northern Sweden. Through open-ended questions, learners analyze temperature patterns, daylight variation, latitude, seasons, and geographic influence while practicing clear constructed responses and critical thinking.

Academic Focus

• Climate Zones (Grades 4-6): Compare temperate and subarctic climates using real-world examples from Sweden.
• Physical Geography: Examine how latitude and location affect weather patterns, seasons, and daylight.
• Scientific Reasoning: Connect Earth-Sun relationships to long winter darkness and summer daylight changes.
• Written Expression: Practice responding in complete, focused sentences using academic vocabulary.

Instructional Support

• Teacher-Created Resource: Developed to align with upper elementary science, social studies, and ELA standards.
• Open-Ended Format: Encourages explanation, reasoning, and evidence-based thinking rather than simple recall.
• Flexible Use: Suitable for science lessons, geography units, test prep, homework, or small-group discussion.
• Skill Integration: Combines climate science concepts with reading comprehension and written response skills.

This printable worksheet helps students understand how climate and geography influence daily life, seasons, and human behavior. By comparing Sweden’s southern and northern regions, learners strengthen knowledge of climate systems, latitude, and environmental patterns while building confidence in constructed response writing. It’s a practical, no-prep resource that works well in both classroom instruction and homeschool science or geography studies.
