Science Fair Project Cloud Coverage Devaun Singh Elijah Jones Class 708

Observation  The clouds move from left to right. In the night time you really cant see it. The thing about clouds are that you can right through them. It may look like it’s a solid but its not. A cloud is just a visible collection of particles of water or ice suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth surface. That’s all clouds are. When it rains the water can get in the cloud and stay there. That’s only sometimes.

Problem  How long does Cloud coverage take to take over the sky? How does it cover?

Hypothesis  What I think about this project/topic is that its good. I have a advantage and so do the kids. We have the chance to learn something else. We did this project to learn new things that we did learn in class and teach it to other students.

Purpose  The purpose is to teach these kids something new. It’s a chance to see how cloud coverage works.

Research  We have got our information from the internet and a cloud scanner. You could say google. 

Materials  1. Scanner  2. Clouds  3. Sky

Procedure  1. First you need to get a scanner.  2. Then you take the scanner outside.  3. Next you need to read what ever the radar on the scanner says.  4. Lastly, fill in the data chart so you know the cloud coverage.

Data  Days  Thursday  Friday  Saturday  Sunday  Monday  Cloud Coverage  Partly Cloudy  Mostly Cloudy  Partly Cloudy

Analysis  We had to use the scanner to measure the cloud coverage of the sky. Then we had to compare it to the meteorologist calculations. Some of the professional calculations were wrong. Some of ours we correct.

Conclusion  In conclusion, we see that the professional calculations are sometimes wrong about cloud coverage. Our clouds play a big part in our lives. It produces rain so that the earth can cool.
