Hinweis der Redaktion
- My audience will be Middle School and Jr. High School students and I will be teaching them the types of clouds using various resources.
- This will be the opening picture, this is a good visual reference for the students because it lists the clouds names shows their appearances and the average altitude for each cloud. Before I bring the picture in, I have a learning moment to see if the students know any of the cloud names already! 2 nd week changes (fly in picture)
- Cumulus clouds have three different types and I will explain these different types of cumulus clouds and let them take notes. 2 nd week changes (text box used)
- These clouds usually bring heavy storms and will have lightning with them.
- These clouds are more commonly known as fog or mist instead of clouds, these clouds are very low because they have lots of precipitation and form when its cool therefore sinking to the ground.
- These clouds form on blue skied days up high and are usually moving pretty fast.
- Altocumulus clouds are very high up in the atmosphere so they aren't influenced by thermals, this is why they only create light rain.
- These clouds are very high up in the sky and cause pretty sunsets because of the light bouncing off of them, they do not create precipitation.
- More commonly known as the “rain” cloud, these clouds bring heavy storms and have a slow rainfall, this cloud can also make snow or sleet.
- These wispy clouds form on bright sunny days and are usually seen quickly through the sky. These clouds do not create precipitation.
- Very similar to the cirrus cloud, but the only difference is this cloud does produce precipitation and lots of it, it you see lots of these clouds together you will know you are going to have bad weather soon. 2 nd week changes arrow for emphasis and text box
- Exactly like the cirrus cloud but are not easily spotted, and when they are spotted they produce optical effects. These clouds do not produce precipitation.
- This is the chart I talked about in my action plan, in this chart students will fill out the name of the cloud, the appearance of the cloud, the conditions the clouds best form in, and a few facts about the cloud that they found interesting. (2 nd week changes-present filled in and then students will be given a blank chart. Answers may vary in facts column)
- Answers: left to right, top to bottom – cirrostratus, cirrus, cirrocumulus, altostratus, altocumulus, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus, stratus, nimbostratus, cumulus, fog 2 nd week addition
- Action plan, goals, answer sheet and rubric 2 nd week changes
