This clip from Weather Ed explains the difference between climate and weather and how the climate has shifted from warm periods

This final episode draws together the understanding developed in previous episodes and lessons on our Earth, climate and atmospheric processes. It enables students to use weather maps and satellite imagery to make weather predictions that will assist them in their daily lives.

These episodes explore some of the natural hazards the Australian climate brings. These include floods, thunderstorms, droughts and bushfires. Although these events are natural, our response to them is important to reduce both the economic and human life cost. In these episodes, students will relive some of Australia's natural disasters from a human and environmental perspective and gain an understanding of the role of the State Emergency Services in limiting the impacts.

Australia's climate and the factors related to size, location and shape that produce the diversity of temperatures and rainfall are discussed. The lesson shows that mapping climatic regions and linking these to human activity is important for the future sustainability of our environments.

The natural events of El Nino and La Nina are learnt and students develop an understandig of the processes and the impact these events hold on human activity and the environment.

Clouds examines weather patterns and the role of clouds. Students can develop an understanding of the cycles that occur in nature such as the water cycle and the importance of these cycles to life on earth. The atmospheric processes responsible for different types of rainfall events are examined and students are encouraged to make observations of clouds and predict weather patterns associated with them.

The delicate balance between the atmosphere and life on earth and other planets is discussed. Earth is referred to as Goldilock's planet in this episode as it is "just right" for life on earth when compared to Mars and Venus. This episode raises questions about changes in our planet's atmosphere and the impact of this on global warming.

Weather Ed is an Australian first in education that sets a new national standard in learning about weather and geography. Custom-produced for young people around the country, Weather Ed is a ten-part television series, produced by The Weather Channel, which brings the nation's secondary school geography curriculum to life, reflecting youth culture and spearheading 21st century learning. This first episode take students through the wonders of atmospheric processes that create the temperature and rainfall conditions on a global scale.

Andy Day knows young animals all have favourite meals. For meerkats, a scorpion is a tasty treat. In Finland, racoon dog pups stock up before winter arrives, and young capuchin monkeys enjoy shellfish.
