Forecast: cloudy with a strong chance of learning! ☁️
The Prospect Panthers recently welcomed Mr. Jay Fray of @drizzleweather for an engaging lesson on meteorology. The kids shared their favorite types of weather, learned about the layers of Earth`s atmosphere, discovered that clouds form in the troposphere, and explored different cloud types.
To bring the science to life, students created their own cloud parfaits, using graham crackers, marshmallows, whipped cream, and blue icing to represent different layers of the atmosphere. This hands-on activity helped them visualize how our atmosphere is structured and where clouds form. A sweet treat and a sweet lesson in weather science! 🌦️
