Make your own CLOUD!!!
This fun Science Project for kids you will make your own cloud! This Science project is easy to do and is great for young elementary school children. It only requires a few materials and doesn’t take long to do. Try this cloud maker experiment today. Don’t forget to check out Cloud Facts for Kids to go along with your experiment.
Materials: crushed ice, salt, medium can and small can
Have kids fill large cup 1/2 way with the crushed ice.
Add 1/3 cup salt
Put the smaller cup into the middle of the larger cup (try not to touch the ice with your fingers)

CLOUD FACTS
A cloud is a mass of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that float in the air.
Clouds look fluffy and light but the truth is the amount of water that makes up one cloud can weigh more then an airplane!
The tree main types of clouds are: Cumulus, Stratus and Cirrus clouds.
The word cumulus means a pile or heap.
Cumulus clouds look like white puffy balls of cotton.
Cumulus clouds are usually less than 6.5000 feet above the Earth.
The word stratus means a layer.
Stratus clouds spread across the sky and look like blankets. They can be gray.
Stratus clouds that are higher in the sky are called Altostratus Clouds.
The word cirrus means a curl or ringlet in someone’s hair.
Cirrus clouds look like white smoke.
Cirrus clouds are more than 20,000 feet above the Earth.
It is so cold where cirrus clouds form that they are made of only ice crystals.
