Science 4 Clouds

This document provides information about clouds and weather in 3 main sections: 1) It defines clouds as made of water drops or ice crystals that form in the sky and describes the different types of clouds. Clouds indicate the weather conditions. 2) It explains how clouds form through the process of evaporation and condensation as warm water vapor rises and cools in the atmosphere, forming billions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. 3) It describes the common cloud shapes including cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus clouds and what each type typically signals about the weather. The document concludes with assigning students group activities to make weather instruments.

Lesson 29 :

Clouds and
Weather
Do you always look at the sky? How can you
tell the condition of the sky?

You can quickly see the condition of the sky


as you look out of your window. From there, you
can tell if the sky is clear, dark, or gloomy. The
condition of the sky changes from day to day. This
can be described by the amount and kinds of
clouds present.
WHAT IS CLOUD?
A cloud is made of water drops or ice
crystals floating in the sky. There are
many kinds of clouds. Clouds are an
important part of Earth's weather.
Clouds describe the condition of the sky
and what the weather will be. Cloud
formation is another component of
weather.
WHAT IS CLOUD?

Cloud may appear white and


fluffy, or dark and heavy. Observing
the clouds can help you tell what the
weather will be. White, light clouds
signal fine weather, while dark,
heavy clouds bring rain.
HOW CLOUDS FORM?

Clouds are generally made up of


water. A big portion of the earth is
covered with different bodies of
water. These bodies of water turn
warm when the sun shines on
them. Part of the warm water
evaporates or turns into vapor.
HOW CLOUDS FORM?

When water evaporates, it goes


up into the air. When warm water
vapor rises, swells, and cools
through the process of
condensation, it forms clouds.
Billions of tiny water droplets
form a cloud.
HOW CLOUDS FORM?

Some clouds are also made up of ice


crystals. These are the clouds that
form high up in the sky where the air
is very cold. The droplets of water
from clouds fall as rain or snow when
they become too heavy that the air can
no longer hold them.
SHAPES OF
CLOUDS?
Cirrus clouds are thin
and hairlike. These clouds
indicate fair weather when
they drift slowly, and
indicate bad weather when
they move rapidly.
SHAPES OF
CLOUDS?

Stratus clouds are flat


and gray. These clouds
tend to cover much of the
sky. They usually bring
light rain or drizzle.
SHAPES OF
CLOUDS?
Cumulus clouds are
big, white, fluffy , and
cotton-like. These
clouds signify fine
weather.
SHAPES OF
CLOUDS?
Nimbus clouds are found
near the ground. These
clouds are gray and has no
definite shape. They
usually cover the sky and
bring rain.

GROUP
ACTIVITY
The class will be group into two (2). The two
group will be assigned to make either their
own wind vane or anemometer.
GROUP 1- Measure wind speed.

MATERIALS: dowels
• 5 small paper • Empty water
cups bottle with cup
• Hole punch • Stopwatch
• Scissors
• Duct tape
• 3 thin wooden
Procedure:
• Use the hole punch to make a hole in the side of each of the 4 paper
cups.
• Use the hole punch to make 4 holes spaced evenly around the rim of
the last cup. This will be the center of the anemometer.
• Slide 2 of the wooden dowels through the holes in the center cup. They
should cross in an “X.”
• Insert the ends of the dowels into the holes of the other cups and tape
them into place. Make sure the cups are all facing the same direction.
• Take the last wooden dowel and make a hole in the bottom of the
center cup.
• Push the dowel up until it meets the X and tape everything together.
This will be your rotation axis.
• Put the center dowel into an empty water bottle and begin testing!
GROUP 2 - Measure wind Direction
MATERIALS: Eraser
• 2 Paper Plates • Modeling Clay or
• Scissors Play-Doh
• Poster Board • Glue
• 1 Plastic • Colored Pencils
• Drinking Straw or Crayons
• 1 Straight Pin • 1 Compass
• 1 Pencil with • 1 Rule
Procedure:
• Cut two slits at both ends of the straw.
• Draw the arrowhead and tail of the wind vane on poster board
and cut out each piece. Use a ruler to draw straight lines.
• Stick the arrowhead through the slits on one end of the straw
and the tail through the slits on the other end of the straw.
• Stick the straight pin directly through the center of the straw.
You may need assistance from an adult with this step.
• Stick the pin into the eraser of the pencil. Make sure there is
enough room between the eraser, straw, and pinhead to allow for
the straw to spin on the axis. Test it out and make adjustments as
needed until the wind vane spins easily.
Procedure:
• Use a ruler to mark the center of the plate and label the four
cardinal directions (North, South, East, & West) at right angles on
the backside of one of the plates.
• Decorate the rest of the plate using colored pencils or crayons.
• Stick the point of the pencil through the spot you marked as the
center of the plate, and then stick it into a mound of modeling
clay or Play-Doh to keep your weather vane weighted and
balanced when the wind blows.
• Place some glue on the rim of both plates and press them firmly
together. Let the glue dry before going to the next step. Place your
wind vane outside in a location and see what happens.
THANK YOU,
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
