I would love to make a lesson based on weather, particulary clouds and how it affects the weather. What ideas or lessons can I use for my students?
Hi Melanie,
It's great to have students observe their surroundings. We sometimes forget to look up. You may want to read 'The Next Time You See a Cloud' by Emily Morgan. I've also attached a link from a NSTA journal. Have fun!

Are Clouds a Solid, Liquid, or Gas? (Journal Article)
For future references, a fun activity revolving around clouds is having students create a cloud in the classroom using cotton balls! Clouds are all shapes and sizes, so students could create their own, and maybe include a paragraph talking about their cloud & how they affect the weather. I hope this helps!
