Lesson 1 Clouds

Clouds are made up of millions of tiny drops of water. They form in different shapes  and at different heights in the sky. A cloud forms when moist air rises upwards. As the air cools, it expands and changes,  and condenses into tiny water droplets. The highest clouds contain ice crystals.

There are 3 types of HIGH CLOUDS

CIRRUS CLOUDS- Thin wispy streaks

CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS-  Pale high layer

CIRROCUMULUS CLOUDS-  Tiny lumps that look like bead or pearls

There are 3 types of MIDDLE CLOUD LAYER

MID LEVEL CLOUDS

ALTOCUMULUS CLOUDS- Higher lumpy layer

ALTOSTRATUS CLOUDS-  Pale white layer

NIMBOSTRATUS CLOUDS-  Grey layer that produces rain or snow

There are 4 types of LOWEST CLOUDS

CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS- the dark storm clouds

CUMULUS CLOUDS- Cotton wool type

STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS-  Uneven patchy layer

STRATUS CLOUDS-  Covers top of mountain/hills

Can you find the pictures of these clouds in your  Pocket Science Book ?

Lesson 2 Rainbows

After a rain showers, the sunlight or daylight from the sun shines through the clouds. The sunlight then reflect off millions of water raindrop like a mirror splitting the sun's white lights into rays of different  colours  - in this order- 7 different colours

R O Y G B I V

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Try this next time during or after a  sudden  shower or  rain on a sunny day, stand with your back to the sun and look for your rainbows.
