Clouds Teacher Resources

For this clouds worksheet, students answer ten multiple choice questions about the types of clouds, the characteristics of clouds and the meaning of the prefixes found in the names of clouds.

Students search their room to learn cloud names and types. In this weather lesson,  students scavenge the changing cloud scenery to memorize clouds types and facts. To add fun to the memorization the class plays I spy.

Students study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is.  In this atmospheric instructional activity students make a cloud and create evaporation.

In this science worksheet, students look for the meaning of the water cycle and its relation to the formation of clouds. They read the information about the different types of clouds.

Students examine types of clouds and their movement. For this science lesson plan, students explore how to determine cloud movement and direction, differentiate between the different types of clouds, and predict the weather based on the...

Seventh graders identify clouds and the weather that is associated with them.  In this weather lesson students work in groups and design their own weather map.

Second graders construct the 3 types of clouds using cotton balls and write sentences describing them. In this clouds lesson plan, 2nd graders describe a cumulus, stratus, and cirrus cloud.

Third graders read a book on clouds and use the Internet to research how they are formed and the different formations. They also do an experiment.

Students read the book "Clouds" and select 3 Tier Two vocabulary words to build their vocabulary. For this  "Clouds" lesson plan, students  listen to vocabulary words and think about how the words are used in the story....

Young scholars define what a cloud is and what fog is. After a lecture/demo, students participate in an experiment on how clouds and fog are formed. In pairs, they perform the experiment a second time, record their results and present to...

Third graders complete various activities about clouds. They create a cloud in a lab, write a cloud story, make a cloud model and complete a webquest.

Middle schoolers observe a teacher demo on how clouds form. In this earth science lesson, students discover how cloudiness affects relative humidity. They explain the scattering of light by clouds.

Students investigate the formation of clouds and rain in this experiment. They decide how dust in the air helps to make clouds form and how dust helps meteorologists make forecasts.

Students examine the conditions necessary for cloud formation.  In this clouds lesson plan students complete an activity that shows them atmospheric pressure.

Students examine the earth's atmosphere. In this hands-on science lesson, students follow the outlined steps to create clouds in 2-liter bottles.

Second graders practice comprehension strategies to successfully process informational text for content knowledge, and describe what clouds, rain, and fog are and how they are made.

Students investigate the conditions needed for cloud formation and explore how pressure and temperature effect cloud formation.  In this atmospheric pressure lesson students complete a lab on cloud formation. 

Fifth graders study the weather and water cycle of clouds. In this water cycle lesson, 5th graders read background information about evaporation, condensation, and the states of water.

Students view a demonstration that simulates cloud formation. They read a poem about clouds, participate in a class demonstration using warm water and ice and write a paragraph summarizing their observations.

Students work in groups to research and prepare a report on cloud types. They present their findings to the class and take a group quiz competing for points. Students go outside and determine which type of clouds are visible on that day.

In this cloud cover worksheet, students work in groups and are given a percentage of cloud cover to represent. They go around the room and predict the percentages that each group was given and determine the accuracy of their observations.

Students identify the elements that make up the earth's weather. Begin by having students pretend they are hiking along a mountain ridge. It's been sunny and warm all day, but you see a dark line of clouds moving from the west.

Young scholars research how to forecast the weather by observing cloud formations and wind patterns. They research modern means of weather forecasting, complete a quiz and an activity page designed to let them try out new forecasting...

Students create a cloud in a bottle.
