A PET Cloud: Lesson Plan 15

Pupils watch the teacher make a cloud. In this water cycle instructional activity, students discuss the water cycle and see the formation of a cloud. The teacher leads the discussion including the role of water vapor, smoke and air...

Students explore the concept of pet overpopulation. In this animal welfare activity, students complete and discuss handouts regarding the spaying and neutering of pets to reduce pet overpopulation.

Students explore the formation of clouds and different cloud types. Students simulate a cloud formation within a bottle.

Perhaps one day humans will learn to control the weather. Future scientists simulate clouds and fog in a plastic bottle. They conduct an experiment where they place smoke and hot water in the bottle, then squeeze and release repeatedly....

Fourth graders explain and demonstrate the process of condensation, experiment and observe the condensation of water droplets from water vapor to droplets to clouds and infer what variables affect water condensation.

Students define what a cloud is and what fog is. After a lecture/demo, students participate in an experiment on how clouds and fog are formed. In pairs, they perform the experiment a second time, record their results and present to the...

Students investigate the formation of clouds and rain in this experiment. They decide how dust in the air helps to make clouds form and how dust helps meteorologists make forecasts.

Third graders read a book on clouds and use the Internet to research how they are formed and the different formations. They also do an experiment.

Students take a quick examine part of the water cycle, and the combined gas laws. The lesson lead them through the conditions necessary for cloud formation and allow them to create clouds in three different hands-on activities.

Students experiment with hot and cold water, and ice, to examine how both clouds and fog are formed. Students observe and record results, and report their findings to classmates.
