Types of Clouds Activities 2nd 3rd 4th Grade Weather Activities & Worksheets

In this fun unit, students will learn about the four main types of clouds. There are reading passages, hands-on activities, vocabulary posters, and a flip book. As a bonus, a weather bulletin board kit is included in this unit. Have you ever sat down in the grass before to watch the clouds float by? Sometimes they look like a giant puffy cotton ball. Sometimes they look like thin dotted lines in the sky. They might even look like a dinosaur stomping across the sky. Clouds look different but they are all made of the same thing: water. Clouds form when tiny drops of water and ice join together in the sky. This unit includes reading passages and activities all about 4 main types of clouds: ⭐Cumulus ⭐Stratus ⭐Cirrus ⭐Cumulonimbus ⭐Simply print-n-go! Vocabulary posters can be printed in black and white or color. These are great for introducing the unit or for an attractive bulletin board display. A weather bulletin board kit is included in this unit. Show What You Know: have students complete the Cloud Flip Booklet by answering the questions, cutting, coloring their illustrations of the different cloud types, and then assembling it. Flip booklets work really well in centers. Have students complete one page of the booklet at each center and then put it all together. They are great for interactive notebooks, file folders, or inside a 12x18 folded (in half) construction paper cover. If using construction paper covers, have student decorate the cover to make it a cloud book! They serve great as study guides, or even for bulletin board displays. This is a Digital Download.
