Weather report: Cloudy with a 100% chance of science! ☁️🧪

With our "Cloud in a bottle" activity, we’re showing students how clouds form in the atmosphere by creating one inside a bottle! By changing the air pressure inside a bottle and adding smoke or dust particles, students (grades 6-12+) can observe the exact moment water v***r transitions into a cloud, providing a clear, repeatable model for understanding how clouds form.

Students will learn the science behind:
✅ How clouds form
✅ The water cycle
✅ Phase changes (solids, liquids, and gases)

Check out the full video tutorial and step-by-step instructions here: https://www.noaa.gov/office-education/outreach-communication/hands-on-science-activities/cloud-in-bottle
