Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered how clouds float? They look so light and fluffy, but they can actually weigh hundreds of tonnes! This home education lesson plan breaks down that surprising fact in a way that’s simple, fun, and easy to teach – even if science isn’t usually your thing.

You’ll guide your child through ideas like mass, gravity, and why clouds don’t fall, with hands-on activities, thinking questions, and creative tasks along the way. Everything is written clearly with key words explained (like water vapour or air resistance), so you can feel confident leading the learning. It also links nicely to other science topics like the water cycle and air pressure.
