How do clouds form?

Do you know how clouds form?

1V do!

We  used the Scientific Method to investigate.

Step 1- Make an observation- We went outside and observed many clouds in the sky.

Step 2- Ask a question- How do the clouds get up there in the sky?

Step 3- Make our own hypothesis- I think that clouds are formed by…..

Step 4- Do a test- We experimented by making our own cloud.

Step 5- Record the results- We recorded our findings.

Step 6- Form a conclusion- Our experiment showed us that the tiny water droplets that formed on the dust particles in the warm air rose up to meet the cooler air. When enough water droplets group together a cloud is formed.

More information about how clouds are formed.

1V LOVE being scientists!

You can try this experiment with an adult at home too. Be sure to tell us how you go.

    Joshua D loved this experiment in class. We couldn’t get home fast enough for him to show mum and dad how he could make a cloud. We have since sat grandpa down to show him as well.

      How exciting! It’s such great news to hear how this has inspired Joshua. A future meteorologist in the making perhaps…
