Let's begin with a hypothesis:

Where do you think clouds come from?
Remember what we've been learning about air movement and convection cycles, now consider how moisture in the air might be connected to that process.

2

What are some important safety precautions to take when conducting an experiment, like the one we did together, where fire and pressurized containers are used?

Next, watch the following video and fill out the observations below.
The results are the same as the experiment we conducted in class but it may be easier to see what happens in the bottle here. You are welcome to watch either. 

1

Can you think of anything else we could have manipulated or changed to try and form bigger/better clouds?

1

Observations of bottle with just cold water.

1

In the experiment what was used as condensation nuclei?

Watch the following video to help answer questions 12 and 13.

Conclusion:
Explain how the water vapor moved in the bottle and what happened when the temperature of the vapor changed?

What factor was manipulated in the experiment? (What is the independent variable being tested?)

Different temperatures of water

Amount of smoke particles added

Amount of cloud formed

Can you think of anything else we could have manipulated or changed to try and form bigger/better clouds?

1

Observations of bottle with just cold water.

1

Add your observations of the bottle with cold water plus the match.

1

Add your observations of the bottle with hot water plus the match.

Which experimental setup represented the negative control group? The one where we didn't expect a cloud to form.

Glass with only hot water

Glass with hot water and smoke particles

Glass with cold water and smoke particles

Glass with only cold water

Do condensation nuclei make it harder or easier for clouds to form?

Harder

Easier

Which of the following could create condensation nuclei?

In the experiment what was used as condensation nuclei?

Watch the following video to help answer questions 12 and 13.

Do clouds form in high or low atmospheric pressure systems?

High 

Low

Did the cloud appear in the experiment when he squeezed the bottle or released the bottle?

Squeezed the bottle

Released the bottle
