Content Objective
I can describe how cloud formation is part of the water cycle and what effects it by completing a diagram while using a video clip, teacher explanation, and my text book.

E.ES.07.11 Demonstrate, using a model or drawing, the relationship between the warming by the sun of the Earth and the water cycle as it applies to the atmosphere and oceans.

E.ES.07.81 Explain the water cycle and describe how evaporation, transpiration, condensation, cloud formation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, ground water, and absorption occur within the cycle.

Language Objective
Students will write to describe the process of cloud formation by completing the following sentence frames.

1.Warm air can hold ________ _______ than _______ _________.

2.Clouds form when _______, ________ air rises into the _________ upper Troposphere.

3.The fast moving, invisible  ________  water particles lose their energy and __________.

4.They change from an invisible gas into tiny _________ ____________.

5.If there are ________ _________ present the tiny liquid particles ________________.

6.Clouds often have flat bottoms because half of the cloud is found below the ___________ __________  and remain __________, while the top half is found above it and is _____________.

HOMEWORK – Finish any current assignments from this past week if needed

1.Warm air can hold more water than cold air.

2.Clouds form when warm, moist air rises into the colder upper Troposphere.

3.The fast moving, invisible  gaseous water particles lose their energy and condense.

4.They change from an invisible gas into tiny liquid droplets.

5.If there are condensation nuclei present the tiny liquid particles clump up on them.

6.Clouds often have flat bottoms because half of the cloud is found below the condensation (dew) point and remain invisible, while the top half is found above it and is visible.
