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.

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson plan, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Students explore the characteristics of clouds, their formation, symbols used in their identification, and the relationship of clouds to weather. The lesson plan focuses on how they are formed and their classification.

Kids learn about clouds including how they form, levels, fun facts, and types of clouds such as cirrus, cumulus, and stratus.
