Standards Based
Cloud Chart is a standards-based module containing colorful posters, activities, maps, and games to explain how clouds, wind and weather are related. Activities are based on common state standards in science, math, and language arts. Each activity contains detailed information about which standards are addressed. References to national science standards are provided as well.
Low Tech, High Fun
The only required equipment: your own eyes, a Cloud Chart, the sky, and wind direction. With engaging activities, full color cloud charts for each student, Cloud Chart Cards, maps and Cloud Chart DVD students can have fun looking at clouds in a whole new way and develop analytical skills that will last a lifetime.
Observe Science As It Happens
Often science and science processes are too small or too large to be observed directly without the use of expensive technology. Students use color cloud charts and direct observational techniques to promote understanding of clouds and weather. Relying on simple observations of cloud patters, wind speed, and air pressure, students analyze weather conditions to general conclusions and make predictions — perhaps more accurately than the logical meteorologist!
Thoughtful
Cloud Chart's thoughtful design includes teach support such as content background, information about student misconceptions, and alternate learning strategies which make any teacher a subject matter expert regardless of "scientific comfort."
