  2. Who can help us? • The Bionic Bomb Squad • The Awesome Aero-Travelers • The Clever Crime Stoppers • The Smiley Spy Catchers • The Jiffy Geographers • The Rancid Ringsters

  3. How will climographs help? A CLIMOGRAPH shows the following information for a particular location: latitude & longitude; elevation; mean (average) monthly temperature in °C or °F; and mean (average) precipitation in centimeters or inches.

  4. DIRECTIONS: Read the clues on the screen. Match the Locations to one of the 14 Climographs your group has. Show your Location guesses to your teacher. Keep all clue slips safe.
