Hi Everyone. I am doing an experiment next week teaching my students about how a rain cloud forms. What are some good key terms I should implement inside this lesson plan? I am using shaving cream, water, a large jar, ice, hairspray for the dust, pollution, air particles, as well as blue food coloring to create the rain.
It may be beneficial to incorporate the water cycle, including condensation, evaporation, precipitation, and how these processes are incorporated into the formation of rain clouds. If your unit is built around the water cycle, this will be beneficial, and it will also be beneficial if its not your focus in the sense that students will be building on and applying knowledge to new concepts. I hope this helps!

My middle school students struggle with the following terms that could be introduced early:
Homogeneous mixture, homogeneous mixtures, density, matter, *states* of matter, particles, models,
