Cloud Module Learning Activities

Students will also complete the Cloud Fun Student Activity Sheet that includes a description of the cloud and what the weather was like on the day the cloud was observed.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
Cloudscape: Using information from the Elementary GLOBE book Do You Know that Clouds Have Names? and their own observations, students construct a sky scene with trees and buildings as reference points on the ground and cloud types ordered by altitude in the sky. Students will describe clouds using their own vocabulary and will then correlate their descriptions with the standard classifications of cloud types used by The GLOBE Program.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
To Spread or Not To Spread: Students will explore the difference between the three types of contrails. Then they will make observations of contrails outside, and record their observations. Fifteen minutes later they will make follow-up observations to see how the contrails they observed have changed.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
