Rain Day Learning

Today was such a rainy yucky day but lucky for us we were learning about rain! So that worked out very well. We started by showing how a thunderstorm is formed. We used blue ice cubes and red food coloring to show how cool air makes warm air rise.

Then we put water in a jar and added a cloud (shaving cream) and showed that when a cloud is full rain falls down. We added blue food coloring until it fell down.

And finally we made a tornado in a bottle. This is an all time favorite and the kids loved it! They want to go home and make one on their own!!

This weather unit is so much fun!! I can't wait until science time each day and neither can the kids! I love seeing them excited about learning!
