Making a Cloud
Students are investigating how various air conditions affect weather patterns. They set up an experiment by creating four separate closed containers that model four different air conditions. Each container is made by stacking two plastic cups on top of each other, connecting both openings, and sealing them with tape. The air conditions inside of the containers are created by placing either warm sand or warm water in them. Some of the containers are then cooled by placing ice cubes on top. After 30 minutes, two containers have water droplets on the inside and two containers do not. The pictures show the containers after 30 minutes have passed.

Multiple Choice Question
Which statement is best supported by the data collected from Container 3 and Container 4?
A.
Warm air that is cooled quickly will produce rainy weather conditions.
B.
Dry air that is heated quickly will produce rainy weather conditions.
C.
Moist air that is cooled quickly will produce rainy weather conditions.
D.
Cool air that is heated quickly will produce rainy weather conditions.

The best-supported statement by the data collected from Container 3 and Container 4 is:
**C. Moist air that is cooled quickly will produce rainy weather conditions.**
This choice is supported because the presence of water droplets in the containers indicates condensation occurring due to the cooling of moist air. The other options do not accurately describe the relationship shown by the experimental results.
