Science from Young People

 

I'm not sure how clouds are formed, but clouds know how to do it, and that's the important thing.....

Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop...it does.

Rain is saved up in cloud banks.

Mushrooms always grow in damp places, which is why they look like umbrellas.

Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun, but I have never been able to make out the numbers....

When planets run around and around in circles, we say they are orbiting. When people do it we say they are crazy.
