Get your head in the clouds before teaching cloud types to your mini-meteorologists. The lesson opens with a beautiful PowerPoint presentation of clouds portrayed in different artists' paintings. After viewing artistic renditions,...

First graders create a PowerPoint presentation and identify three types of clouds; cirrus, stratus and cumulus. In addition, 1st graders construct their own type of cloud during a hands-on activity.

Fourth graders examine how weather patterns generally move from west to east across the United States, and how clouds are formed and are related to the water cycle. They view and discuss a PowerPoint presentation of the types of clouds,...

Students observe and photograph clouds. In this cloud lesson, students make a cloud scrapbook by photographing and completing a worksheet describing the clouds.  Students record other sky events such as rainbows.

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. For this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

Such a great resource and perfect for learners in Kindergarten through third grade. The class will discuss cloud types and formation, and then they'll get outside and draw as they observe the clouds they see. They'll need to take note of...

Students recognize the three main types of clouds. In this clouds lesson, students create a cloud mobile to understand clouds.

Learners observe landscape paintings consisting of cloud formations. In this identifying cloud types lesson, students discover different cloud types and characteristics by looking at paintings. Learners paint their own pictures at the...

Students discover the causes of different types of weather and it's effect on society.  In this environmental lesson, students utilize the Internet to examine cloud types, normal weather conditions and the type of weather considered...

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.
