About this resource
Use this worksheet set to give students a place to record clouds during a week of observation. Invite them to look closely, sketch what they see and describe details in their records. Revisit the observations together to compare how the sky changed from one day to another.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: A short observational journal supports enquiry; no complete meteorology unit claim. A five-day weather record supports a small part of Grade1 weather observation; it cannot by itself compare all four seasons. The journal supports Year1 weather observation; it does not independently establish seasonal/day-length change. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
