Clouds!

Today, we learned about different types of clouds.  We learned that clouds are made out of rain and that there are four different types.  

Nimbus clouds begin as cumulus clouds.  They collect rain until they can't hold on to it any longer.  When they can no longer hold the rain, it falls.  

Check out a couple pictures from our experiment today that showed students how this works.  

FYI... I heard some students say, "I want to do that when I get home!"  This was SUPER easy!  

1.  Fill a clear container with water. (Air)
2.  Spray shaving cream on top of the water.  (Cloud)
3.  Start dropping blue food coloring on the shaving cream.  When the "cloud" can't hold it any longer, it will fall.
