Clouds in our Skies

We've been learning vast amounts about clouds. Students are learning the most common forms of clouds. They are also learning how clouds can give us a clue to what type of weather will be heading our way.

Students have learned about cumulus clouds...
These are the huge, puffy, white clouds that are usually out on warm and sunny days.










They are also learning about cirrus clouds...
These are white, wispy clouds usually found high up in the sky. It may be windy when these clouds are around.





Students have learned about stratus clouds too...


These clouds are like wide- gray blankets that hang low in the sky. They usually bring bad weather or mean that storms are on the way.

Students have read about clouds, written about clouds, and observed experiments involving clouds.

Do you have an observation to share about clouds? We'd love to hear it. Click on the, "comments" link to add your thoughts!
