Forecast: cloudy with a chance of ice

Last week, we discussed clouds and other ways to forecast the weather.  One of my favorite experiments to do with children is to make clouds right inside the classroom. 
(Especially when it is too cold to go outside!) 

 Clouds are relatively easy to create.  
To make a cloud, you need:
-warm air rising to meet cold air
-cloud seeds
 Cloud seeds can be dust, smoke or other particles in the air that the condensation can stick to.
