This lesson pulls students into the surprising science behind East Africa’s climates — why scorching plains sit beside icy mountain peaks, and how rainfall patterns create everything from lush tropical forests to vast drylands. It’s visual, energetic and packed with moments that make students stop and say, “Wait… how can that be?”

By the end of Lesson 2, students will be able to:
  • Analyse how the Equator affects regional heat and explain why temperatures change with latitude
  • Discover why mountains are colder than the plains using altitude and lapse rate
  • Explore how rainfall shapes ecosystems from rainforests to savannas to deserts
What students will experience in the lesson
  • Dynamic in‑lesson tasks that help students compare temperatures, altitudes and rainfall patterns
  • A clear, structured worksheet guiding them through how altitude and rainfall create contrasting environments
  • Purposeful peer‑talk activities where students explain climate differences using geographical reasoning and evidence

Some visuals in this resource were made with AI to help bring ideas to life and support student understanding.
