KEEP A DAILY WEATHER JOURNAL

Write about daily experiences with the weather, how the sky looks, about anything weatherwise, but write regularly. A side benefit: this will increase your writing skills.

MAKE YOUR OWN CLOUD ATLAS

Make up a cloud atlas from cloud pictures similar to that found on Cloudman's Cloud Atlas page clipped from magazines.

Make a Snow Atlas. See Cloudman's story on the Snowflake Man.

DRAW IMAGES OF CLOUDSCAPES

Start sketching beautiful cloudscapes with pencil, crayon, watercolors. Look up cloudscape artists like John Constable. See watercolor paintings on Cloudman's story about Luke Howard, the man who named clouds.

Look at changing clouds for images of animals and birds, and sketch them. Remember clouds change rapidly so sketch fast.

READ/WRITE WEATHER STORIES

Read stories and think about the weather factor in the plot (storms, lightning, etc.). Write your own stories.

READ/WRITE POETRY

Write poems that relate to the sky and clouds. See Cloudman's story on Clouds and Literature.

PHOTOGRAPH CLOUDS

Take pictures of beautiful clouds, sunsets, etc. Refer to Cloudman's Tips on Photography page for tips on taking photographs.

Create your own video of the sky and weather. Capture a lightning storm.

LIST TEN REASONS TO LOOK UP AND SEE

Copy the list from Cloudman's 10 Reasons to Look Up page. Make up a similar list in your own words.

Clip weather articles from the newspaper and create a scrapbook section.
