This review is from : Learning Resources Inflatable Clouds
An ok supplement when learning about clouds . I picked up this set of inflatables on Dec. 4th to use with my 5th graders who learn about weather as part of their science curriculum. It was a lightning deal for $20 at the time, so the current $10 is a much better price and would probably bump my personal review to 4 stars as I definitely take the entire value into account.
The clouds are interesting to the students. They enjoy holding them and anything that can grab their attention is a plus for me. It's a decent supplement after you've studied pictures and online resources with the students. The product mentions that it includes a fact guide, which simply gives a working definition for each of the 8 cloud types included and a quick matching activity and answer key. Some of the clouds only display their image on one side in order to allow more light to come through the inflatable, similar to the clouds themselves, which is an interesting touch. I haven't had to use the repair kit, but it's nice that there is one for each of clouds. Hooks and strings were also included and seemed servicable.
With a little work and creativity these inflatables can be an effective addition to a science lesson. They seem well made and have held up in the week that I have been using them. The pictures also aren't quite as vivid as the product image might suggest. Overall, they don't have a lot of staying power and are likely something that I will pull out to use with my students once or twice a year, with online videos and nature walks still being the best way to demonstrate different cloud formations.
