2018 - Elementary GLOBE Clouds Module

Clouds Module

Even on cloudy days, the GLOBE kids figure out ways to learn more about the Earth. In this story, students will learn the names of the different cloud types and be able to relate them to terrestrial phenomena, like ripples on a pond or cotton candy. Students will also discover at what height each cloud type floats in the sky.

By the end of this module, students will be able to classify clouds based on their shape, determine what kind of weather is associated with each cloud and identify the three different types of contrails.

Cover of the book “Do You Know that Clouds Have Names?” Three children in the center of the cover, surrounded by a picture of clouds. Above the title, there is the Elementary GLOBE logo.
