Cloud Project – pg. 487 You will make THREE clouds out of cotton balls: Cirrus, Stratus, & Cumulus LABEL each cloud WRITE three facts for each: Cumulus, Stratus, Cirrus Altitude of the cloud matters, plan ahead DRAW and LABEL three other types of clouds. (You will NOT get extra cotton balls) ***Extra Credit*** Include other clouds in your project and name them.

OUTRO Which type of cloud is your favorite? Why?
