Summary
As part of the eTwinning project, weather broadcast by curious detectives, three of the collaborating schools designed and implemented the activity, ”what about clouds’‘. Both schools were in online classes while the third was not. So we started with the water cycle, its evaporation and liquefaction. But what piqued the children’s interest were the clouds. The questions were many and so we focused on the study of clouds.
