Today we applied what we have learned about the different types of clouds to a cloud experiment. We were wondering if we could make it rain! We knew about two types of clouds that can produce precipitation: the stratus cloud and the cumulonimbus cloud. And we knew the attributes of both. The next step was to create a model of the cloud with cotton balls and then add water! Here's what we noticed. If it's a stratus cloud you don't need as many water drops to make it rain. The cotton ball gets heavier and heavier until the water comes out of the bottom. We thought it would take ten or maybe even twenty drops of water to make it rain, but we were wrong!
