LAB
Name:________________________
Date: _________________
Directions: In our last lab we created our own clouds. Clouds form when water vapor
changes into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. The temperature affects whether its water
droplets or ice crystals. Use the steps of scientific inquiry, and the previous lab instructions
from page 216, to discover new information about the formation of clouds. Once you come
up with your problem/question, please check with Ms. Sanit before morning forward. If you
run out of time, we will have out next class period to work on this. You will do well. Good
luck!
