A series of five short sequences filmed in five different climatic regions. Each clip contains details of the local climate and its significance in that region. The programme begins in the polar region of Northern Canada, moving through the cool temperate climate of the Alps, the warm temperate climate of Australia's Fraser Island and the tropical rain forest in Central Uganda, to end in the dry heat of the Sinai desert. The programme is accompanied by a downloadable interactive world map and a series of interactive games that will help students at KS2 to understand differences in climates around the world.
