Clouds Mini-Helper from Homeschool Bits via Currclick (free download)
This was our second attempt at the Cloud in the Bottle. This time we used a smaller bottle, hot water (rather than cold) and dropped the burning stick (still no matches) into the bottle:
Then Rosetta quickly put the lid back on....
And, as you can see...
A cloudy bottle, but still not that impressive, at least to us!
Quick! Time to move on to something else -- The Cloud Viewer:
E is for EXPLORE! - Awesome website, with great learning activities made this free version of the Cloud Viewer. We printed one for each little voyager, cut out the middle, then laminated them for durability.
Now, as you can see, not a lot of clouds in the sky when I took this picture, but as the day went on, the clouds increased. The little voyagers went outside to observe the clouds several times in between our various projects.
This is a handy little cloud viewer/classifier, even for adults!
To help us remember which clouds are which, Mama Voyager found a CLOUD song:
This song by Cynthia Sherwood is kind of catchy (Hi Ho A Cloudy Oh) - It is sung to the tune of A Farmer in the Dell. Click for a larger image, or go to Super Teacher Worksheets.
Here are a few of the clouds we saw today:
Hi Ho A Cloudy Oh!
