Learning Activities preview for Cloud Observation, Description and Identification
Community-provided

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.
