 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">* **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Ask the students what they know about clouds. Talk with the students about the different types of clouds there are and what they looked like from previous lessons.
 * Quickly go through with the groups what roles they have this lesson.
 * On the interactive whiteboard, open up the web quest and open up the clouds page.
 * Briefly go through what each role will be doing and briefly explain the activity at the end.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Lesson Steps **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> (Lesson content, structure & strategies) **Key Questions & Assessment**:


 * The students will then open up the Here We Go page and click on the ‘Clouds’ page.


 * The students will undertake the appropriate tasks and complete their worksheets.


 * The students then come together as a group and share the information that they have just learnt to their other team members.


 * The students then open the Cloud Finder link and as a group, and each student will make their own cloud finder.


 * As a class, in their groups, go outside and identify the clouds that are in the sky.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students come back to the mat and recall what happened in the experiment? Teacher asks what are the four types of clouds? What clouds did each group see outside? How did you know it was that type of cloud? What did it look like? Did anything in the experiment go wrong? || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Resources: ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 6pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">
 * Students will come back in and record the what they saw for that day on their weather journal page.
