4. The English filled eighty ships with flammable material and set fire to them. The ships were allowed to sail towards the Spanish ships. The Spanish panicked and fled to the open sea.

The Spanish tried to sail close to the English ships so their soldiers could board them. However the English ships were too quick and could easily keep their distance. Many Spanish galleons were sunk. The survivors fled north, determined to round Scotland and sail back to Spain. The Armada successfully sailed round Scotland. However, as it continued on south towards Spain it encountered terrible weather. Strong winds and terrible rain forced many ships onto rocks near Ireland. Some Spanish made it ashore, only to be killed by English soldiers and settlers.

6. Air pressure 1. Copy the following: LOW air pressure -Warm air rises so air pressure falls -Warm rising air = clouds = rain -The lower the pressure, the worse the weather HIGH air pressure -Warm air rises in one place, so cool air sinks somewhere else. -When the cool air sinks, the air pressure rises and the cold air warms up -No water vapour condenses = no clouds = hot summers & cold winters! 2. Now copy the following two headings: High air pressure in winter High air pressure in summer

7. There are no clouds so the sun is strong No clouds mean the ground cools fast at night. Water vapour condenses and freezes on cold surfaces No clouds mean the ground gets cold at night.
