In Lesson 5, we are going to learn about clouds. Here are our I Can statements:
- I can recognize that the sun warms objects.
- I can recognize that the sun is a source of energy that can change the temperature.
- I can explain that temperature changes modify the state of water.
Clouds
There are 3 main types of clouds. Cumulus clouds are low, puffy clouds with flat bases.
They look like they have been piled up high like a mountain. Stratus clouds are low, gray and, often cover the whole sky. They
look like a huge gray blanket covering the sky. Cirrus clouds are the highest clouds in the sky. You can pick them out because
they are thin and look similar to feathers.
Now, let's take a look at our vocabulary words for this lesson.

Weather Observations
Each day look outside and think about the weather. Note whether it is sunny or
cloudy? Are the clouds big or small? Is it windy? In what direction is the wind blowing?
Is it raining? Does the temperature feel hot, cold, cool or warm? What happened
yesterday? What season is it? What do you think the weather will be tomorrow? Give
us the weather report or forecast! Visit the weather journal to help make your
weather observations. When you are finished, copy and paste the journal URL onto
