    smallclouds       INTRODUCTION:  
                 
               This web site is a designed to educate children about the different types of clouds.  Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that are suspended in the air.  Eventually the droplet becomes very large and then visible as a cloud or fog.  Oftern  you may wonder what the weather is by looking at the clouds in the sky.  By the end of this lesson, hopefully you will no longer have to rely on the weather channel, rather you can decide for yourself if  a storm is coming or not. Good luck and have fun!

Clouds are made of small droplets of water or bits of ice that are spread out from each other. Rain falls when the drops get too big and heavy to stay in the cloud.  There are three main kinds of clouds:   Cirrus, Cumulus and Stratus
