This document provides a webquest for 4th grade students to learn about measuring and predicting weather patterns, including different types of clouds, lightning, and safety tips. Students are asked to complete various online activities and assignments related to weather instruments, wind, clouds, lightning mapping and forecasts. The goal is for students to understand how weather elements can be observed, measured, and used to make weather predictions.
Clouds
What are clouds?
A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.
Why do clouds float?
A cloud is made up of liquid water droplets. A cloud forms when air is heated by the sun. As it rises, it slowly cools it reaches the saturation point and water condenses, forming a cloud. As long as the cloud and the air that its made of is warmer than the outside air around it, it floats!
There are 3 main types of clouds:
Cirrus or thin feathery clouds
Stratus or layered clouds
Cumulus or fluffy clouds
Cirrus Clouds
Are the most common of the
high clouds. They are composed of ice and are thin, wispy clouds blown in high winds into long streamers. Cirrus clouds are usually white and predict fair to pleasant weather. By watching the movement of cirrus clouds you can tell from which direction weather is approaching. When you see cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a change in the weather will occur within 24 hours.
Stratus Clouds
are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. They resemble fog that doesn't reach the ground. Light mist or drizzle sometimes falls out of these clouds.
Cumulus Clouds
are white, puffy clouds that look like pieces of floating cotton. Cumulus clouds are often called "fair-weather clouds". The base of each cloud is flat and the top of each cloud has rounded towers. When the top of the cumulus clouds resemble the head of a cauliflower, it is called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus. These clouds grow upward and they can develop into giant cumulonimbus clouds, which are thunderstorm clouds.
The Importance of Clouds
Clouds help regulate Earth's energy balance by reflecting and scattering solar radiation and by absorbing Earth's infrared energy.
Clouds are required for precipitation to occur and, hence are an essential part of the hydrologic cycle.
Clouds indicate what type of atmospheric processes are occurring (e.g., cumulus clouds indicate surface heating and atmospheric turbulence).
Clouds help redistribute extra heat from the equator toward the poles.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Weather Vocabulary: atmosphere, meteorologist, freezing, cumulus, stratus, cirrus, air
pressure, thermometer, air temperature, wind speed, forecast, severe, phenomena, precipitation,
seasonal, accuracy, barometer, rain gauge, components.
4. Answer Key
1. A THERMOMETER measures the air temperature. Most thermometers are closed glass
tubes containing liquids such as alcohol or mercury. When air around the tube heats the
liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube. A scale then shows what the actual
temperature is.
A BAROMETER measures air pressure. It tells you whether or not the pressure is rising
or falling. A rising barometer means sunny and dry conditions, while a falling barometer
means stormy and wet conditions. An Italian scientist named Torricelli built the first
barometer in 1643.
A SLING PSYCHROMETER measures relative humidity, using the cooling effect of
evaporation. Two thermometers are used in a sling psychrometer. Wet the cloth of one of
the thermometers and swing the psychrometer around a few times. Water evaporates
from the cloth, causing the temperatures on that thermometer to be lower the the other.
A RAIN GAUGE measures the amount of rain that has fallen over a specific time period.
A WIND VANE is an instrument that determines the direction from which the wind is
blowing.
An ANEMOMETER measures wind speed. The cups catch the wind, turning a dial
attached to the instrument. The dial shows the wind speed.
WEATHER MAPS indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the Earth's
surface. Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the weather.
A HYGROMETER measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.
A WEATHER BALLOON measures weather conditions higher up in the atmosphere.
A COMPASS is a navigational instrument for finding directions.
WEATHER SATELLITES are used to photograph and track large-scale air movements.
Then meteorologists compile and analyze the data with the help of computers.
YOUR EYES are one of the the best ways to help detect the weather. Always keep an eye
at the sky and you'll usually be on top of weather conditions

3. Clouds
a. Cirrus, Alto, Stratus
b. Cirrus Clouds
Cirrus clouds are the most common of the high clouds. They are composed of ice
and are thin, wispy clouds blown in high winds into long streamers. Cirrus clouds
are usually white and predict fair to pleasant weather. By watching the movement
of cirrus clouds you can tell from which direction weather is approaching. When
you see cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a change in the weather will occur
within 24 hours.
Cirrostratus clouds are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky.
They are so thin that the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrostratus
clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
Cirrocumulus clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs that appear in long
rows. The small ripples in the cirrocumulus clouds sometime resemble the scales
of a fish. Cirrocumulus clouds are usually seen in the winter and indicate fair, but
cold weather. In tropical regions, they may indicate an approaching hurricane.
"Alto" Clouds
Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray mid level clouds composed of ice
crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky. In the thinner
5. areas of the clouds, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus
clouds often form ahead of storms with continuous rain or snow.
Altocumulus clouds are mid level clouds that are made of water droplets and
appear as gray puffy masses. They usually form in groups. If you see altocumulus
clouds on a warm, sticky morning, be prepared to see thunderstorms late in the
afternoon.
Stratus Clouds
Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. They
resemble fog that doesn't reach the ground. Light mist or drizzle sometimes falls
out of these clouds.
Stratocumulus clouds are low, puffy and gray. Most form in rows with blue sky
visible in between them. Rain rarely occurs with stratocumulus clouds, however,
they can turn into nimbostratus clouds.
Nimbostratus clouds form a dark gray, wet looking cloudy layer associated with
continuously falling rain or snow. They often produce precipitation that is usually
light to moderate.
Cumulus Clouds
Cumulus clouds are white, puffy clouds that look like pieces of floating cotton.
Cumulus clouds are often called "fair-weather clouds". The base of each cloud is
flat and the top of each cloud has rounded towers. When the top of the cumulus
clouds resemble the head of a cauliflower, it is called cumulus congestus or
towering cumulus. These clouds grow upward and they can develop into giant
cumulonimbus clouds, which are thunderstorm clouds.
Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. High winds can flatten the top
of the cloud into an anvil-like shape. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with
heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning and even tornadoes. The anvil usually points in
the direction the storm is moving.
Special Clouds
Mammatus clouds are low hanging bulges that droop from cumulonimbus
clouds. Mammatus clouds are usually associated with severe weather.
Lenticular clouds are caused by a wave wind pattern created by the mountains.
They look like discs or flying saucers that form near mountains.
Contrails are condensation trails left behind jet aircrafts. Contrails form when hot
humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure
and low temperature. The mixing is a result of turbulence generated by the engine
exhaust.
Green Clouds are often associated with severe weather. The green color is not
completely understood, but it is thought to have something to do with having a
high amount of liquid water drops and hail inside the clouds. In the Great Plains
region of the U.S. green clouds are associated with storms likely to produce hail
and tornadoes.
c. Fog is a cloud on the ground. It is composed of billions of tiny water droplets
floating in the air. Fog exists if the atmospheric visibility near the Earth's surface
is reduced to 1 kilometer or less.
