Activity of the Week: Identify Clouds

This week, take the students outside and look at the clouds. But don’t just watch them — identify them! 

Begin by teaching the students about the different types of clouds. You can find examples HERE. 

Go outside at the same time every day to see what types of clouds are in the sky. Have each student record his or her observations. 

At the end of the week, have the students create graphs showing how many of each type of cloud they spotted during the week.
