The way the air rises determines what kind of cloud forms. When air rises over a large area, stratus or layered clouds form. Middle or high clouds move from the north or northwest. Cool Condensation Clouds form when moisture rises, cools, and changes to water or ice. Draw the different cloud types and explain what kind of weather might come from them.
Cumulus clouds look like cotton balls and cirrus clouds look like strands of angel hair.
Share your ideas with your parents or teacher. Choose a cloud type, huddle with other students, and then act it out. Have the other students guess the cloud type.
