Students wanted to develop a model to show the conditions that cause clouds to form in the first stages of a hurricane system. They put a fishbowl upside down over a shallow bowl. They put an ice pack on top of the fishbowl. What should they put in the shallow bowl that will help with cloud formation in the model?

• ice cubes

• a heat lamp

• warm water

• an electric fan
