In grade 7 Social Studies with Mrs.Bertrend, we are continuing to learn about climate. We are learning about the 6 factors that affect climate: relief, elevation, ocean currents, wind & air masses, and latitude. While some like ‘ocean currents’ may not directly impact us living in Ottawa, many of the factors do. Which factors affect us the most in Ottawa? Comment below!
We were also each assigned a climate factor and created a powtoon teaching others about the climate factor. In the powtoon, we had to explain what climate is (and how it is different from weather), our climate factor, how it impacts climate, and then how it affects those living in the Ottawa area. Please check out our powtoon videos below to learn more about the 6 climate factors.

What are we up to next? Now that we’ve learned all about the factors which affect our Earth’s climate, we have been discussing the natural and human causes of climate change. We have also each selected a different climate change project that we are working on now- stay tuned for our blog post sharing each project!
