  2. To begin, the sun heats the water from the oceans, lakes, and other water sources. Then, the water becomes water vapor and evaporates. Eventually, the water vapor condenses and the tiny water molecules form into clouds. Next, the clouds get carried away by the wind and combine with other clouds. As a result of the clouds combining, the water molecules in the clouds become so packed together that they cant move around, and the precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) drops out of the clouds and return to land or sea. Water cycle

  3. Wind vane The wind vane measures which direction the wind is traveling. • Thermometer A thermometer measures the degree of the heat or cold. • Rain gauge A rain gauge is used to measure precipitation. It can measure the exact amount of rain that fell into the rain gauge. • Barometer A barometer measures the atmospheric pressure. • Anemometer An anemometer is used to measure wind velocity. • snow gauge A snow gauge is used to measure the amount of solid precipitation.

  4. Building a hydrometer is very enjoyable and easy, especially if you follow these steps. To begin, you will need the following materials … • Clay • See through jar (glass) preferably fairly tall • Non bendy straw • Sharpie • Water As soon as you have all of these supplies, take your see through jar or glass and fill it ¾ of the way up with water . then grab the straw and attach a small piece of clay to the bottom . make sure there is no cracks or holes in your clay where the water can get through . After that, grab the straw with the clay attached to the bottom, and drop it into the jar. Finally, grab your sharpie and mark where the bottom of the straw is on your jar. Then do the same thing on your straw, where it breaks through the water. A hydrometer measures humidity. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air . Leonardo Davinchie, invented the hydrometer. constructing a hydrometer can be very fun, and you can learn a lot of interesting facts by building one too. How to make a hydrometer

  5. To begin your weather vane, the supplies you will need are… • Tape • Pencil with eraser • Clay • 2 index cards • Strait broken paper clips (small pieces) • Scissors • Straw Once you have all the materials, you are ready to create a weather vane . To begin, take a pencil and clay . Mold your clay into a square and stab your pencil into the middle of the clay with the point of the pencil. Then, grab one small piece of the paper clip and stick it into the eraser of the pencil. After that, poke a hole through the middle of the straw and slide it onto the paper clip. Next, take your index cards and cut them into arrows. Then cut slits on the ends of the straw and slide the arrows into the slits of the straws and tape them down. That is how you build a weather vane. How to build a weather vane

  6. cirrus cirrus clouds are usually white and have fuzzy edges that look like feathers. They are made of ice crystals and typically mean fair weather. • stratus status clouds cover the entire sky and carry rain or snow along with them. If they are close to the ground they are known as fog • cumulus cumulus clouds are big white and puffy. They usually bring nice and sunny weather • altostratus altostratus clouds cover the whole sky and are usually a grey or blue-grey color. They also bring rain or snow. cumulus cloud clouds

  7. The storm we are researching is the tsunami. A tsunami is created by earthquakes or undersea volcanic eruptions. It effects people before it actually happens by the water of the ocean flowing out to sea and then swelling into a massive wave . This storm is so powerful that it can destroy buildings and badly injure people. If the tsunami doesn’t destroy buildings it damages them. People probably shouldn’t go back inside those buildings because they are unstable and could fall in at any moment. To avoid these damages to people, they should evacuate to higher ground and not go up to the shore when the water swells back. Tsunamis are really dangerous storms that are very life threatening and destructive. http://www.tsunami.noaa.gov// Storms(tsunami)
