What's it about?

This paper is thought to be a SOL unit, i.e., students study the paper and learn on their own; the teacher will then only calibrate or rectify all the students' ideas. The paper explains and characterizes with facts and figures the development of the six main weather situations in Switzerland. Questions help the students to check their own level of understanding and let them find what questions are important for them. There is a revision chapter at the end.
