Week 23 - Cloud Types!!

What child doesn't love puff paint, cotton balls and using their imaginations?  This was our rendition of cloud types for week 23...

We started our project with a quick exercise of observing the clouds outside and figuring out what type they were.  As it so happened today, we had some really great clouds as a weather system moved out this morning from our area.  We observed out the window and used this to help guide the kids to the right cloud type   http://wvscience.org/clouds/Cloud_Key.pdf

We then discussed the information I had gathered together and compiled into a "key" of sorts for this project along with arrows showing low/high which corresponded with where in the troposphere the clouds form Clouds Project Key .

We also did an experiment making Clouds with Ivory Soap in the microwave.  This was fantastic, easy and the kids all were WOWed by it!  

To end our day we did a review game in my son's therapy room on the trampoline!  The kids asked to play this one.  

To end it all we did a Jesus word cloud!
