Vocabulary CloudsWeather
Vs. Climate
Weather Tools
ScienceCourt
Rain, sleet, snow, or hail
Precipitation
Water rises into the air in the form of a liquid and changes into
a gas (vapor)
Evaporation
Continuing movement of water from oceans or other bodies of
water, up into the air, down to the land, and back to the oceans or
bodies of water again
Water cycle
Water vapor in the air cools and forms water droplets
Condensation
Water as an invisible gas
vapor
How are clouds formed?
Vapor cools in the air and changes to water droplets; many water droplets make up a cloud
A prefix meaning “middle level.”
Alto-
A prefix or suffix meaning “rain.”
Nimbo or Nimbus
A fluffy, large white cloudthat may be flat on the bottom
and billowed on top
Cumulus
Clouds that are made of ice crystals and are the highest
clouds?
Cirrus
Describe a cumulonimbus cloud.
Clouds that billow upward, flat and dark on the bottom, storm
cloud associated with rain, thunder, lightning, and tornadoes
Weather is a bunch of events that happen daily in the atmosphere
all over the world.
True or False
True
Define “climate.”
Average weather in a location over a long period of time
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather-events that happen daily in the atmosphere all over the
world
Climate-collection of weather patterns in your own part of the
world over a period of time
Describe a desert climate.
Doesn’t get much rain
What weather tool is used to measure air temperature?
Thermometer
What weather tool measures air pressure?
Barometer
What instrument would tell if the wind is blowing from the
northeast?
Weather Vane
What tool would measure the speed of the wind?
Anemometer
The humidity is 33% and the dew point is 32 degrees. What tool
measures both of these?
Sling Psychrometer
Share, in order, the FOUR main parts of the water cycle
(you may sing it if you want ).
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation
What is an example of evaporation?
A rain puddle disappears on the ground when the sun comes out
Boiling water goes up into the air
What is an example of condensation?
A cloud forming
Steam on a mirror
Fog
What factors effect the speed of evaporation?
Air temperature
Surface area
How much humidity is in the air
On a cold winter day why are you able to see your breath? Why all of a sudden does it
disappear?
Your warm breath meets the cold air and condenses (forms water droplets, it looks like a cloud).
Then, the vapor cools and evaporates into the atmosphere.
