Hello everyone!  I hope you’re all doing well.  We are having a great time in summer school☀️

This day we had a science activity!  This rain cloud in a jar is a weather science experiment that gave our  students a chance to explore clouds and rain in a hands-on and engaging way!

First we got a clear cup of water, put white shaving cream on top and used a dropper to drop blue water on top.  The shaving cream represented the clouds and the water represented the air. The colored water represented rain. As the colored water saturated the “cloud”, it got heavy and eventually is so heavy that it could no longer hold the water. It “rained” down into the jar – through the “air.” It was just like real rain falls through the air.  The kids really enjoyed this and I hope you all did too!  - Starr♡
