The Man Who Named The Clouds

BY JULIE HANNAH

Brief Description:
Quaker Luke Howard was a boy with his head in the clouds. When he was ten he began keeping a weather journal. Eventually, he joined a club whose members wanted to learn about science. They did experiments and wrote reports. Luke wanted to classify clouds, though many others had failed at this. At last, using the Linnaean classification as inspiration, Luke successfully created a system for naming the clouds which is still in use today. This story of Luke Howard is interspersed with the weather journal of a modern-day child working on a science project.
