Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base

If you've ever wondered why clouds sometimes look so different, look no further than a classroom poster about cloud identification. It features pictures of clouds at high, mid, and low levels of altitude, as well as the name of each...

In collaborative groups, mini-meteorologists investigate the conditions that must be present for clouds to form: cooling air, water vapor, and condensation nuclei. In addition to procedures, a chart for observations and some follow-up...

Learn all about the different kinds of clouds in our atmosphere, how each forms, and specific details of each. Colored photos and an altitude cloud chart are included. PDF (requires Adobe Reader).

Condensing water warms the air around it. Young scholars consider this concept as they experiment with air temperature around evaporating and condensing water vapor. They simulate the formation of clouds to experience the associated...

Students use S'COOL data to identify factors that affect cloud formation. They find a data set using the S'COOL database , and use Excel to manipulate the data. Student isolate relevant data, create meaningful graphs from a spreadsheet,...

What does it look like when two atoms bond? Mol-e-COOL! Aspiring chemists observe the interaction between two atoms forming a bond in an easy-to-use interactive. Individuals move atoms closer together and observe changes in attraction...

Meet the different kinds of clouds found in our atmosphere! Included are answers to why clouds are white, why they turn gray, what is fog, cloud chart, links to cloud lesson plans, and more!

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

Find out what happens inside a cloud when raindrops are formed.

For this experiment, students work to find the dew point temperature in their classroom, or the temperature at which water would condense. Includes questions for students to respond to online. Requires free registration in order to save...
