Lesson Question: How can we use the ideas we developed to explain and predict larger-scale storm systems like hurricanes?
Lesson Question: Why don’t water droplets or ice crystals fall from the clouds all the time?
Lesson Question: What sensor systems could we repurpose and reprogram to help collect data about the air higher up?
Lesson Question: Why don’t we see clouds everywhere in the air, and what is a cloud made of?
Lesson Question: How could we revise our storm simulation to help explain what causes some clouds to produce different-sized hail?
