Designing my plan

I have my topic and would like to know what it means when they say as follows:
Sequence of events
Experiment strategy
Variables and controls
Measurements to be used

I have to write 2-3 sentences on each. I'm just not sure what to put or where to find it in my topic and my topic is, How do clouds form?
Next, they want an outline the sequence of how the data wil be collected.
Thank you,
Wendy

Take a look at this site; it should help you answer most of your questions although the format is slightly different: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentorin ... thod.shtml. It has a good discussion of variables, measurements, and controls.

If you still have questions, you might want to ask your teacher. I can tell you what I think the difference is between sequence of events and experimental strategy, for example, but I may have a slightly different interpretation of those phrases than your teacher does.
