In Mrs. Prestons 5th grade science class they are learning about clouds and precipitation.

The clouds they are learning about are cirrus, thunderhead, altocumulus, stratus and fog. The cirrus clouds are really high up in the sky and thin and stringy. Thunderheads are from really high to really low and are big and puffy. Altocumulus are right in the middle and really fat and poofy. Stratus are low and are like strips of paper. Fog is acloud that is on the ground and its almost like mist.

There project about clouds was to show what hight there at and what they look like with cotton balls. For precipitation they showed how rain, sleet, hail and snow come down from the sky. (Q: How important is saving water) Calab said, " Very important because without everything would die. "

Thats all they learned about in Mrs. Prestons 5th Grade science class.
