Howdy from Utah!
I teach grade 9 (14-15 years old) Earth Science. I would like my students to write to English speaking students in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.) about weather and climate in order to help my students understand that summer and winter happen at the same time but in different hemispheres. We'd also love to write to English speaking students at high latitudes (Alaska, Norway, Russia, etc.) to learn more about the hours of daylight at different latitudes.
I have 251 students (haven't you heard about the CRAZY class sizes in Utah?!?). Although my students are grade 9, I think they would benefit from writing to anyone in grades 7-12.
