Each map (above) tells its own story. Study the colors in each map and the temperature key at the top.

  • What is the warmest temperature predicted? What color is it?
  • What is the coldest temperature predicted? What color is it?
  • Notice the ocean temperatures next to the continent. How would you describe them on each map?
  • Now YOU list 3 questions about the maps to ask your partner or classmate.
