Introduction:
In our
recent work we have learned the different steps of the water cycle, the
different types of clouds, what clouds consist of, and what weather
certain clouds bring. Your class has been learning about weather
for the last month or so. For this challenge you will have to use
prior knowledge and the information provided to complete a weather
challenge.

The Problem:
Oh no! The local weather satellite
has been destroyed in a recent rain storm. The meteorologists are
unable to inform the people in your town about the weather in the
upcoming week. The people in your town are worried because it has
been raining in your town for the past three days and there are no
signs of it dying down. The people in your town are worried that
there is going to be a flood and the town is going to be under water
soon. Your mission is to educate your town about the water cycle
and how it is necessary for it to rain in order for the cycle to
continue and flow like it should. Also talk about weather patterns and an
explanation as to why it has been raining so much lately.
