All About Clouds!. How are clouds formed? Clouds are formed when warm air rises. This air expands and cools. Because cool air can’t hold as much water.

How Do Clouds Form? Clouds form as warm air is forced upward, expands, and cools until it reaches its dew point. The water vapor condenses, forming water.

CLOUDS

What are CLOUDS? They are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. They form when water condenses onto small particles in the air (like dust).

How TINY are the water droplets?

How do clouds form? 1) Warm, moist air rises and cools. 3) Water vapor condenses forming a cloud. 2) Air cools to dew point causing condensation. How do clouds form?

Clouds are NOT all the same…

Clouds are classified according to SHAPE Flat clouds = “Stratus” Fluffy clouds = “Cumulus” Wispy clouds = “Cirrus”

Clouds are also classified by ALTITUDE On your blue paper, draw the different types of clouds (using chalk and charcoal). *Use your textbook (pg. 111) and the cloud charts.* Label each type of cloud. Paste the paper into your science notebook. HIGH LEVEL (cirro-) MID LEVEL (alto-) LOW LEVEL (stratus)

Spot the cloud! Low and flat ….. STRATUS

Spot the cloud! Middle level, fluffy ….. Alto-Cumulus

Spot the cloud! High level, wispy ….. Cirrus

Spot the cloud! Rain bearing, storm clouds ….. Cumulo-Nimbus

Watch the BrainPop video on “Clouds”. Write down 3 things you learned.
