Assessment sheet for how a cloud is formed. Draw a picture of the cloud model made in class and label parts.

This learning resource focuses on the science of cloud formation, teaching students to understand the process through hands-on activities. The objective is for students to illustrate a cloud model, drawing and labeling components such as the water source, rising water vapor, and the cloud itself, while also indicating the temperature change involved in these processes. The resource includes prompts for students to explain key concepts: the impact of sunlight on liquid water, the temperature variation with altitude, and the condensation process that leads to cloud formation. An answer key is provided for teacher use to guide students' understanding and check their illustrations and explanations.
