The coldest place where people live is Oymyakon in Siberia. In 1933, the temperature
fell to -67⁰C.
It was so cold that people’s eyelashes froze.
a) Investigate the summer and winter temperatures in different places. Order
the temperatures you find starting with the coldest.
b) Make a poster to show your findings.
c) Find examples of temperatures in magazines or on the internet and add them
to your poster. You can include maps, pictures and graphs.
Find an example bar graph below. It compares the temperatures between Bristol
(which is usually cold) and Dubai (which is usually extremely hot).

Give a video demonstration or tutorial on how to cook or make something. You can
use a camera or your phone. Edit your video and you can give it to your teacher to
show to the class. Be clear about each step of the process so your audience
understands what to do when they make it themselves. Be enthusiastic and
entertaining so your audience does not get bored. If you do not want to make a video
you can create your recipe on an A4 piece of paper. Include a picture. For example:
Project 9: Day and Night Poster

writing about daytime and night-time. Use a large piece of manilla board (do not use
paper) and make a collage of these images and writing with daytime on one half and
night-time on the other side. Be creative! Examples:
