Your Challenge:
You are going to be the youngest
world traveler. You are planning a trip around the world and have
decided to visit several cities. However, as the Earth tilts on its
axis
and
travels around the sun
, the
climate
varies around the world. In order to prepare for the trip you
will need to know what the
weather
will be like, so you can bring the right clothes. This means you
will need to do some research before you pack your bags. If you do
not pack the right clothes, you may be stuck in snow, with only shorts and
a t-shirt!!!
You have narrowed down your travel
plans to the following places:
Cairo, Egypt
London, UK
Manila, Philippines
Moscow, Russia
Sydney, Australia
Billings, Montana
Tokyo, Japan
Using the Internet, find the
weather
conditions for all the places you plan to visit. You know that
you want to at least visit four of these cities and if you have time all
of them. Once you know what the
weather
conditions are for each city, copy the information onto the worksheet
provided. You will use this information to create a list of all of
clothing that you may need for
each city on you trip around the world.
