Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Contents:

   • The teacher starts the class by reviewing the concepts of climate and weather, which were previously studied. It is important that students have a clear understanding of these terms, as they will be the basis for understanding climatic factors.
   • There is also a quick review of the main types of climate existing in the world, so that students can make connections with the factors that will be studied.

2. Problem Situations:

   • The teacher proposes two situations to instigate students' curiosity and introduce the topic. The first situation could be: "Why are some regions near the equator extremely hot, while others are cold, even though they are at the same latitude?". The second situation could be: "Why do coastal cities have a milder climate than inland cities, even though they are at the same latitude?".

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher highlights the importance of studying climatic factors, explaining how they affect various aspects of daily life and the environment. For example, climate influences agriculture, clothing, city architecture, animal migration patterns, among others.

4. Topic Introduction:

   • The teacher introduces the topic of climatic factors with two curiosities. The first curiosity could be: "Did you know that the city of São Paulo, despite being close to the Tropic of Capricorn, has a subtropical climate and not a tropical one due to its altitude?". The second curiosity could be: "Did you know that the city of London, which is at a higher latitude than Brazilian cities like São Paulo and Salvador, has a temperate climate and not a polar one due to the influence of the Gulf Stream?".

   • The teacher concludes the Introduction by explaining that, by the end of the class, students will be able to answer the proposed problem situations, understanding how climatic factors interact and determine the climate of a region.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory: Concepts and Explanations (10 - 12 minutes)

   • Primary Climatic Factors:
     1. Latitude: The teacher explains that latitude is the distance of a place in relation to the Equator. The closer to the Equator, the warmer the climate; the farther away, the colder.
     2. Altitude: The teacher emphasizes that altitude is the height of a place in relation to sea level. Explains that altitude can alter the temperature of a region, even if it is at the same latitude.
     3. Maritimity and Continentality: The teacher explains that maritimity refers to the influence of the sea on the climate, making it milder and more humid, while continentality refers to the influence of the continent, making it more extreme and dry.
   • Secondary Climatic Factors:
     1. Ocean Currents: The teacher explains that ocean currents can influence the climate of a region, for example, the Gulf Stream which makes the climate of some areas milder.
     2. Air Masses: The teacher describes how air masses, which are large portions of air with similar temperature and humidity characteristics, can influence the climate of a region, for example, polar and tropical air masses.
     3. Relief: The teacher explains that relief can influence the climate of a region, for example, mountains that can block the passage of air masses, creating different rainfall and temperature patterns.

2. Practical Applications and Examples (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher presents real examples, such as the cases of São Paulo and London, to illustrate how climatic factors interact and determine the climate of a region.
   • The teacher can also use climatic maps to show how different combinations of climatic factors result in different types of climate around the world.

3. Fixation Activities (5 - 6 minutes)

   • The teacher proposes that students, in groups, analyze climatic maps of different regions of the world and identify the climatic factors that determine the climate of these regions.
   • The groups present their analyses to the class, promoting discussion and sharing of ideas.
   • The teacher provides feedback and clarifies any doubts that may arise during the presentations.

Return (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Connection with Theory (3 - 4 minutes):

   • The teacher asks students to reflect on the learned content and make connections with the presented theory.
   • One way to do this is to recall the practical examples presented during the class and ask students to explain how the different climatic factors interact to determine the climate of these regions.
   • For example, the teacher can ask: "How does altitude influence the climate of the city of São Paulo?" or "Why does the Gulf Stream make London's climate milder?".
   • The teacher can also ask students to identify, on a climatic map, the climatic characteristics of different regions and explain the factors that determine them.

2. Individual Reflection (3 - 4 minutes):

   • The teacher proposes that students reflect individually on what they have learned.
   • For this, the teacher can ask questions like: "What was the most important concept you learned today?" or "What questions have not been answered yet?".
   • Students should write down their answers and then have the opportunity to share them with the class, if they wish.

3. Group Discussion (4 - 5 minutes):

   • The teacher asks students to gather in small groups to discuss their reflections.
   • The teacher can provide some questions to guide the discussion, such as: "What were the most challenging points of today's content?" or "How can you apply what you have learned about climatic factors in your daily lives?".
   • After the discussion, a representative from each group can share the main conclusions with the class.
   • The teacher concludes the activity by reinforcing the importance of knowledge about climatic factors and encouraging students to continue exploring the topic.

4. Feedback and Closure (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher thanks everyone for their participation and provides feedback on the class.
   • The teacher also answers any questions that may have arisen during the activity and clarifies any misunderstandings.
   • Finally, the teacher ends the class by reinforcing the main points learned and reminding students of any homework, if applicable.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)
