Colors of the Sky

Young scholars observe the sky and weather to gather data. They conduct experiments to answer questions about the sky and weather phenomena. They measure, analyze and present data. They create sky windows by gluing sky colored paint...

Examine the different cloud types and the colors of the sky with these printable tools. Both have a cut-out window in the center, surrounded by images of clouds or shades of pink, blue, and gray to compare to. When studying weather, the...

Dramatize the stars and planets as they become a visual representation of the solar system in this activity. Young astronomers track and simulate various constellations as they orbit the Earth to learn the position and motion of objects...

Students create a torn paper landscape that includes a sky, mountain range, and tundra, to be used in a cloud activity. In this torn paper landscape lesson plan, students insert clouds into their landscape.

Learners investigate the components of white light as viewed through a prism. The multiple colors of the spectrum produced are related to wavelengths and experienced through the creation of a color wheel.

Students monitor the weather, clouds, and sky. For this weather lesson, students create a sky and cloud window to focus their sky observations. They write observations in a notebook and include the date, time, cloud cover, types of...

Young scholars use lecture and research to answer the question: Why is the sky blue? students research a variety of other sky phenomena, chart their observations and participate in experiments.

Learners investigate the sky.  In this weather and clouds lesson, students observe the sky and write journal entries using their five senses to describe what they see.  Learners observe, identify, and write about the different types of...

Students investigate the use of soil, an important natural resource in artwork. They experiment by crushing soil particles and adding the different color samples to artist acrylic to create true "earth colors". Using this paint, they...

Students explore light and colors. They see how white light is made up of various colors. They need to have some background knowledge about prisms, light wave lengths, and behavior of light, primary and secondary colors, and ratios.
