lesson,
students
hypothesize
what
types
of
clouds
they
believe
will
create
the
most
precipitation
(rainfall)
over
Nashville,

Scientists
have
studied
the
physical
properties
of
clouds
and
have
developed
instruments
onboard
satellites
to
characterize
the
types
of
clouds
they

below.
Some
satellites
have
instruments
that
allow
them
to
