The Water Cycle

Today we learned about the water cycle and cloud formation. We created a troposphere (gray paper) and layered stratus (low, blanket like clouds) and the bottom using cotton balls. We then created a cumulus (large, white, puffy clouds) at the top using shaving cream. In groups students made a small water cycle with a cumulus cloud. Here is a fun song to remember the process.
