It actually simulates rain coming down. In fact, if you make enough rain on your paper, you’ll even create a small lake at the bottom! Note: You’ll find more weather-related activities on my Weather Unit Study page.  To make this rain cloud craft, you will […]

I had no idea how truly fascinating they were until we began learning more about them! We read several books about clouds that talked about the cloud classification system. My kids and I worked on classifying clouds ourselves. Then we did this cool cloud […]

I sure do! But how do they get there? A cloud is formed when water vapor condenses into water droplets that attach to particles (of dust, pollen, smoke, etc.) in the air. When billions of these water droplets join together, they form a cloud. As part […]

Little did I know that there is an entire system in place for classifying clouds based on their shape and height in the sky. Classification is a key scientific skill, so this makes for a great weather […]
