Clouds, sun, wind, rain vocabulary

Use the words clouds, sun, wind, and rain to name what is happening in the sky and air.

You have four new sky words this week. The sun is the bright light that warms us in the daytime. Clouds are made of tiny drops of water floating high up. Wind is air moving around; you cannot see the air itself, but you can see what it does. Rain is water falling down from clouds.

You can feel some of these and only see the effects of others. You can see the sun and clouds. You can feel wind on your skin and see it move leaves. You can hear and feel rain.

📋 For the teacher
Teach it (10–15 min):
  • Point at the sky together and name exactly what you see: sun, clouds, or both.
  • Feel the wind together. Notice how you know it is there even though you cannot see it.
  • If it is raining, stand under cover and watch and listen to it together.
  • Use all four words naturally through the day, not just during science time.
Talk about it:
  • Which of the four words matched the sky today?
  • How do you know wind is there if you cannot see it?
  • What shape was a cloud you noticed today?

Mastery looks like: They correctly use the words sun, clouds, wind, and rain to name what they observe in the sky and air.

Common stumbles: Confusing wind with rain; thinking clouds are solid, hard things.
