Featured Learning Activities

This month's featured activities go with GLOBE's Clouds Protocol

Cloud Watch

Students monitor clouds and weather to begin to understand the connections between the two.

Estimating Cloud Cover- A Simulation

Students practice estimating how much of the sky is covered by clouds.

Observing, Describing, and Identifying Clouds

Students begin to learn cloud types and their names.

Cloud Observation, Description and Identification

The students observe and draw the clouds, describing their shape and using their own words. Initially, qualitative descriptions will be made and, later, a more scientific vocabulary will be used to deepen the analysis made. A relationship will be established among the students' descriptions and the standard classification of the ten types of clouds identified by GLOBE. Each student will have a personal cloud notebook to use along with the GLOBE Cloud Chart. Observation will be done over a period of days. At the end of this time, students make predictions about the weather and check them, using their observations.
