Look! It Is Going to Rain

Science and Children—April/May 2010

It is important to help young children make connections between events in their lives and science concepts in preschool classrooms, so introducing basic meteorology ideas offer a great opportunity to make weather connections and awaken scientific curiosity (Spiropoulou, Kostopoulos, and Jacovides 1999). Therefore, this article presents a science lesson that provides opportunities for children to make observations of clouds—about their shape, size, color, abundance in the sky, and connection to rain.
