A PET Cloud: Lesson Plan 15

Students research clouds and upload pictures of different clouds to a computer program and describe how the different clouds effect the different kinds of weather. In this clouds lesson plan, students present their findings to the class.

Create a cloud model using soda bottles. Your class will get the opportunity to explain how clouds form using this hands-on activity. They will also write a detailed report about what they did in the lab. Step-by-step directions with...

Students identify clouds based on their height and create a mobile to represent different types of clouds. In this clouds lesson plan, students identify the 3 types of clouds.

Students, in teams, follow the process of design, including the stages of investigation, creation, and reflection, as they devise a way to help "save" a (simulated) pet who is trapped in a pipe.

Students observe clouds. In this deep convective clouds lesson plan, students analyze cloud data recorded over one month and draw conclusions based on results.  Students predict "Thunderstorm Season" and prepare to defend their decision...

Learners apply their knowledge of the water cycle.  In this water cycle lesson plan, students create a 3D cloud that they will label.  Learners will create an informational writing piece using all the correct vocabulary. 

Students look at how clouds form. In this cloud lesson, students make a cloud using water,  2 liter bottles and a match. They watch how the pressure and temperature changes the atmosphere in the bottle to create a cloud. 

Learners explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Learners...

Students investigate cloud formation. In this weather lesson, students examine how clouds are formed. Students participate in experiments that model how water vapor in the air works.

What is rain and where does it come from? Help your special-needs class understand the weather concepts of rain, clouds, and the water cycle with this introductory activity. They view a PowerPoint video (not included), answer questions...
