Science/Experiments & Math

Make a Tornado Experiment (in a jar) - Only takes 3 indigence...First of course, you need a glass mason jar with a lid. Fill it with water (leaving about 1-2 inches from the rim). Add: 1tsp dish soap, 1tsp white vinegar, and a few pinches of fake snow (or something similar to represent debris). Screw the lid on tight and give it a good swirl for about 5 seconds or so. Now watch as the see the tornado moving up and down.
Don't forget to revisit your water cycle bag we created on Tuesday. We looked at ours in the AM and PM to see how the water moved.
