- Ask students to share the JASON Journal response from the last class period. Make sure that they have a good understanding of water vapor measurements in the atmosphere.
- Follow up on any long-term assignments that you have made thus far, such as the Art Connection or any Inquiry activities assigned.
- Explain that today’s lab will help them understand how water vapor turns into clouds that we see.

Have you ever wondered what causes a cloud to start forming? Clouds form readily when “seed” particles such as dust or smoke, around which water vapor can condense, are present in the atmosphere. In this lab, students make models to observe how clouds form, then analyze their models. |

|
 |
Reflect And Assess |
|
|
|
|
Collect the Make Observations questions for immediate assessment. |
|
|
|
 |
Follow-up |
|
|
|
|
- Have students discuss the critical thinking question on page 42 of the teacher’s edition.
- Assign the JASON Journal Prompt on page 42 of the student edition for homework.

|
|
Now that you know how clouds form, how do you think this knowledge helps Robbie understand monster storms? |
