Spring is a good time to take the kids outside and look at the different kinds of clouds in the sky. For that reason, I thought I’d find you some short educational videos about clouds so that you can discuss the types you see and how they form.
The videos I found are listed below. They are all under seven minutes. Some cover cloud formation and names. Others have some other interesting information about clouds.
I hope your family enjoys learning from them.
