##In December, the northern hemisphere has larger areas which are colder, compared to Southern hemisphere during July. (or the range of temperatures in northern hemisphere is much more than the southern hemisphere). Why?

Basically discuss what are the various factor that affect weather/climate - latitude, vegetation/forest area, coastal region v/s hinterland (distance from sea/water body), altitude, land mass vs water body etc)

#Mobile phones can have software application to record the latitude and longitude information of a place. For eg OSM Tracker on a Android phone can record the 'lat long' information about a place, and even record a track, such as a road. Try recording using this on a cell phone. You can also upload this information on a digital map on the Internet such as the openstreetmap (http://openstreetmap.org). See for instance schools recorded on openstreetmap in Yadgir taluka (search Yadgir on openstreetmap.org). You can also see http://kalike.org/map/ and select schools in top right box. You can map important places in your place - shops, hospitals, government offices etc using OSM tracker and upload on openstreetmaps.org

Discuss with your family members about time zones. If any have travelled abroad (to countries in other time zones), ask them their experiences. Have they suffered a 'jet lag'?
