Types of Clouds - Flipchart Presentation

This ActivInspire Flipchart introduces students to the three major types of clouds, as well as characteristics, combinations, and fog.

• This presentation is structured to answer the following questions:
  • What are clouds? What are the types of clouds?
  • What are the characteristics of cumulus clouds?
  • What are the characteristics of cirrus clouds?
  • What are the characteristics of stratus clouds?
  • What do -nimbus and alto- mean? What is some common cloud?
  • What is fog?

• I think this is best taught over the course of two-three days.

• There are several video links throughout which reinforce cloud types and key concepts, plus a review section at the end.

• There are Cornell guided notes available that accompany this product available in a bundle. The guided notes are fill-in-the-blank.

• This was designed for 6-7th grade, but I think it can appropriately be used in 4th through 10th depending on your standards.

• Please note: This is NOT a PowerPoint - this is a Flipchart which uses ActivInspire software from Promethean. You can download a free, 30-day trial for ActivInspire if you're interested. You can also purchase this slideshow in Google Slides or PowerPoint format.

I hope you find this helpful, and that it saves you time as you prepare to teach these concepts.
