Hey there kiddles/budding meteorologists, and parents!
We have been having such fun learning about clouds this week and how to read the skies to predict weather changes! I wanted to provide you with some helpful links that you can use at home for additional review, or even just to check out together as a family so that you can cloud-gaze together and share the magic.
This week in Science, we got up and moving in class by acting out how air (and water) molecules move and behave. Students pretended that they themselves were air molecules, and demonstrated how cooler, high atmospheric pressure molecules behave, as well as warmer, low atmospheric pressure molecules behave as well. It's a lot of fun to move our bodies to show how science works, and I encourage everyone to act this out as a demonstration for your parents and families so that they can join in the fun as well.... and also so you can show off just how brilliant you are! That's the best part :)
Below are some links to helpful Weather Unit resources that you can use to study and explore. Happy cloud-gazing everyone- and watch out for those cumulonimbus meanies!!!!!
