Through ongoing observation, questioning, and diagramming fourth graders have broadened their cloud knowledge. Students are doing an amazing job noticing patterns and similarities between the clouds we see daily. After watching a short TedED Video focused on how clouds got their names, students now know that there are THREE main cloud forms... and we can predict many things about the weather by noticing those first. Our unit will be ongoing as we continue to notice and discuss clouds throughout the seasons, but to display student understanding we have created Cloud Posters.
