Create Different Types of Clouds

Grade 2 students are learning about the 4 different types of clouds: cirrus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, & stratus. To help the students learn what the clouds look like, we used the cotton balls to represent each type of cloud.

CUMULUS clouds: These clouds look like big fluffy cotton balls.
CIRRUS clouds: Pull the cotton balls apart into long, wispy parts.
CUMULONIMBUS clouds: These clouds are also fluffy, but because they are storm clouds, they colored them black with markers.
STRATUS clouds: Students should stretch out the cotton balls, but not completely apart, and then color them gray.

At the end, the students labeled each cloud with its name!
This is a really fun, educational activity that helps the students learn what the clouds look like in the sky.
