Today we conducted 2 science experiments. We first created a cloud in a jar. We put hot water in a jar, I lit a match and dropped into the jar and then set an ice pack on top of the jar. These steps created an amazing cloud that the kiddos loved!
Then, we made rain in a jar by filling the jar with water, making a "cloud" with shaving cream on the top of the water and then adding food coloring "rain" on top of the cloud. Then we watched the accumulation of food coloring make it's way through the cloud and rain!
Students learned when water droplets collect in a cloud, they get heavier and heavier. The clouds eventually become too heavy to float in the air. Then the water droplets fall to the earth as rain or precipitation.
