If you don't know much about clouds, spend more time exploring and learning with Professor Garfield.  

Types of clouds will be the most important aspect of this Webquest.  Learn to tell the difference between types of clouds such as how they look and which clouds are paired with certain weather such as rainy days or sunny days.

Make your own clouds here and see them float in the sky!

Now that you know a little more about clouds, go outside and view the clouds.  Keep paper or a journal handy, so you can write down what you see! Draw pictures to remember how the clouds looked or color the sky with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

After you finish watching the clouds, use construction paper, glue, and cotton balls to create clouds.  Create each type of cloud you learned about by spreading out the cotton balls and gluing them to the construction paper. Label each cloud with the correct name.

Want to see how the sky produces rain from the clouds?

You'll need two clear jars, shaving cream, water, food coloring, and an eye dropper. 

Fill both jars with water.  In one jar, put any color food coloring. In the other jar, spray shaving cream on top of the water, so all of the water is covered. Fill the eye dropper with the colored water, then sprinkle it over the shaving cream.  Watch how the colored water (rain) makes the shaving cream (cloud) so heavy it must fall to the bottom.
