Cloud Classification

In this worksheet, students classify clouds into high-, middle-, low-, and vertical-altitude categories. They examine description clues such as shape, texture, and height to determine the correct cloud type and write it in the blanks provided. The activity encourages close reading of scientific descriptions and supports understanding of how cloud appearance relates to altitude. Students learn to differentiate between ice-crystal clouds, layered clouds, and puffy cloud formations. This worksheet strengthens observational analysis skills and builds foundational meteorology knowledge. By organizing information into a structured chart, learners also practice categorization and data interpretation.
