Clouds

We have spent some time looking up this week and here's a bit of what we saw from our roof:



Can you see the crescent moon?
So if you've done your research, you should be able to identify these!  If not, try using this chart:

Our educated guess?  Stratus, stratocumulus, and altostratus.  What did you predict?


We never did see thunderstorms this week, but that sticky hot humidity went away!  Weather is a rich topic--which means there are many, many interesting aspects to explore, and ways to explore them!

Michael saw a guy on a surf board in this cloud.  What do you see?

A few minutes later, the surfer dude had moved and morphed into something else.  What do you see here?


Our interesting aspect of weather was "clouds" this week, and we observed them by watching them, sketching them, and thinking about them.  There are some great cloud experiments you can try at home--ALWAYS check with your parents/adults before experimenting!!!  Here are a couple links to try!




We tried both at home and both worked!  Have fun!
