The Cloud in the Bottle

Students observe a demonstration of how pressure and temperature affects cloud formation.

Meteorology or earth science classes reach for the sky with this lesson plan! You will need to purchase a Fizz Keeper® device and temperature strip for each lab group if you want them to perform this as an activity rather than you doing...

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,...

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....

Young scholars create a cloud in a bottle.

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

Watch and learn with Bill Nye the Science Guy as he demonstrates how clouds form in the atmosphere using a glass bottle and a bicycle pump. [2:10]

Learn to make a very impressive cloud form in a plastic bottle! By pumping air into an empty plastic bottle and quickly releasing the pressure, we can cool off the air and force the water to condense into a thick cloud. It's a very...

Learners discover how clouds form and how air pressure and air temperature affect their formation. The lesson is delivered in the story of Mike Breezy, Air Detective, who tries to solve The Cloud Case.

This resource provides a short experiment for students to explore how clouds are formed.
