This year in Hoover Elementary the 5th grade science class is learning about clouds. Why you may ask? Because it is all around us and clouds control the weather. If they didnt know what a gray cloud meant then they could get sick or hurt.

The clouds that they are learning about are Cirrus, Thunderhead, Mid-Altitude, Low-altitude and Fog. To learn about these types of clouds they took a piece of construsction paper and took cotton balls. They also had there science book to know what the clouds look like so they can glue the cotton balls down to look similar to a type of cloud. The assignment was to have the cotton balls look like clouds.When they did that they had to also read what height they where, they had to pull hte cotton balls up and down, side to side to make them big enough. For the height they stacked the cotton balls.

Many 5th graders like science, why do they?"I like science because you get to learn about animals and plants... I like animals and it is fun to learn about them," said Abbie Mcintosh. How about that? They are still learning more.
