Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all forms of this water cycle process.
What is precipitation?
These white, fluffy clouds usually indicate fair weather and look like cotton balls.
What are cumulus clouds?
Plants use this form of energy from the sun to make their own food

This scientist duo is credited with discovering the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953.
Who are Watson and Crick?
In cells with membrane bound organelles, this is where DNA is found.
What is the nucleus?
This process in the water cycle turns liquid water into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
These low level, uniformly white or gray clouds may appear as mist or fog.

These are the building blocks of DNA
What are nucleotides?
These are the two main types of cells—one with a nucleus and one without.

This process occurs when plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
These tall, towering clouds can produce thunderstorms, lightning, and even tornadoes.
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
Food, batteries, and gasoline all contain this type of stored energy.

What are chromosomes?
Produced by the mitochondria, this is the form of energy used by cells
What is ATP?
The direct transition of water from a solid state to a gaseous state without going through the liquid phase.
What is sublimation?
When you see cirrostratus clouds covering the sky, it usually means this kind of weather is coming.
