Today's learning target was...explain how clouds are formed.
Our class started off with a discussion about the five steps that lead to the formation of a cloud. After our discussion, students began drawing the process of cloud formation.
Step 1: Sunlight warms the Earth's surface and water evaporates
Step 2: Warm, moist air build up near the Earth's surface
Step 3: Rising air current pull the warm, moist air into the atmosphere
Step 4: Warm, moist air keeps rising and eventually cools to it's dew point temperature.
Step 5: Water vapor condenses into liquid and attaches to tiny particles like dust.
Practice: Complete drawing for tomorrow
