(One for cirrus, two for stratus, three for cumulus) The students will give explanations. The teacher will then display new cloud photos and ask each student to place it in the correct group by holding up one, two, or three fingers in front of their chest. Students will record this information in their notebooks. The terms for each cloud type (cirrus, stratus, cumulus) will be introduced along with the traits used to classify each cloud. All posters will be reviewed/discussed with similarities and differences noted.Īn "official" cloud poster will be shown to the class. Each team member must contribute at least one comment. Each student team will be asked to share their findings. Once the 12 minutes are up, the posters will be displayed. Put grouped photos, cloud names and traits on the poster and be prepared to share the findings with the class.
Once that is done, give each group a name and list the traits.
#STRATUS CIRRUS CLOUDS HOW TO#
Each team will determine how to separate the clouds or determine what traits of the clouds to use. Their task is to observe the clouds and separate the photos into 2-3 groups. In this lesson, students will be looking at photos of clouds. "It is something outside." "Something that pilots and meteorologists pay close attention to." Once the students have figured out that the answer is clouds, the lesson can begin.
The teacher introduces the lesson by asking the students, "What is something we have all seen from below, some from above and some from inside?" Kids will give wild guess and more hints will need to be given. The team recorder will make certain that everyone has the information at the end of the class. Each student needs his/her science notebook and pencil to record notes. Students are arranged in small teams of 4-5 students with jobs assigned to each student (facilitator, materials manager, timekeeper, recorder, reporter).
