The weather changes from day to day. Some days it is cloudy and rainy. Other days it is sunny and warm. People can predict weather by looking at the clouds.

Cirrus CloudsCirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered "high clouds" forming above 6000 m (20,000.

Clouds A WebQuest for 5 th Grade Science Designed By: Sean Fitzgerald EDU 505: Dr. Harrison Yang

Introduction  Have you ever looked up into the sky and spotted a cloud that looked like an animal or some kind of object? Have you ever seen dark, thick clouds and knew a storm was coming soon? Each type of cloud is unique in its own way. The colors and shapes of clouds are characteristics that can help us identify clouds. There are certain types of clouds. Each type of cloud is categorized by certain characteristics. You have probably seen every cloud type at least once in your lifetime. However, even though you may have seen every cloud type there is in the World doesn’t mean you know everything about clouds.  This WebQuest will help you become cloud experts. At the end of this WebQuest you will be able to identify the different types of clouds and you will understand the characteristics of every type of cloud.

Task  You will research different types of clouds using this WebQuest.  You will take the information you’ve learned from this WebQuest to help you create your very own Cloud magazine.

Process 1. First you will open your science notebooks to a new page. You will use your notebooks to take notes and write down important information about clouds that you have learned throughout this WebQuest. Write down anything that you would like to refer to such as the names of different cloud types, the characteristics of each cloud type, a picture of each cloud type, etc. Your notes will be helpful when it comes time to create your Cloud Magazine. 2. For the set of questions you come across during the WebQuest, write the answers down on a separate piece of paper. The paper should include your name at the top. The questions must be answered in complete sentences. When you are finished answering the questions, you will place it in the “all done” pile. The questions will be corrected and handed back to you the next day. Save these because they will help you with your Cloud Magazine creation.

Process (Continued) 3. When you have completed this WebQuest you may begin designing your own Cloud Magazine. 4. Your Cloud Magazine must include the following: -A cover page that includes the title and your name. You may include any pictures too. -A separate page for each type of cloud. Each page must include the name of the cloud, a picture/drawing of the cloud, and a description of the cloud. Use specific details, characteristics and/or examples. Be creative! * Materials for the creation of your magazine will be provided by the teacher. Good Luck with your journey throughout this Cloud WebQuest!!

Evaluation  The Question set is worth 10 points. -There are 5 total questions, each correct answer is worth 2 points.  Notes are worth 20 points. -Notes will be collected and graded by the teacher. You will receive 20 points if your notes are accurate, providing details for each of the ten types of clouds. Your notes will provide evidence that you researched the cloud types using the WebQuest.  The Cloud Magazine is worth 70 points. -Your cloud magazine should include 10 different cloud types. Your grade depends on the accuracy of information, organization and creativeness.

Conclusion  Congratulations! You Have completed the Cloud WebQuest. You have become a cloud expert. You have learned about the different types of clouds and the ways clouds are classified. Next time you look up into the sky you will be able to recognize the types of clouds you see. Try to impress your friends and family by naming the clouds!  Here are some additional websites that you may use if you enjoy learning about clouds or want to learn more about clouds:
