The water falls back to the ground as rain. Science experiments are always more fun than sitting in front of a book or a computer screen. And the water droplets continue to grow and become heavy enough that gravity pulls them down as raindrops. Make your very own snow storm in a jar Learn about the science of blizzards and how snow storms are formed. Over time, the droplets that make up the cloud can attract more water to themselves. Make a tornado in a jar and learn about vortexes, weather patterns, circular air, extreme weather, and more Snow Storm in a Jar. When billions and billions of these droplets continue to join together, a visible cloud forms. The droplets condense onto tiny particles of dust. Explore changes in temperature with this DIY thermometer from What Do We Do All Day Learn about clouds with this ivory soap cloud experiment and cloud sensory. Water vapor rises into the air, but when the vapor hits cold air it turns into droplets of water. While this simple experiment is easy and fun, it does explain how clouds form. As the clouds fills up with more ‘rain’ it makes its way through the cream and drops into the water underneath in the jar. Toss in the fact that I also love easy science experiments and a bad weather day. Notice that the more droplets add to the cream cloud, our cloud becomes heavier and heavier. Simple winter science experiment for preschoolers, elementary kids and. Continue to add blue droplets to the cloud. There is a lot you can learn with water These water science activities provide experiments in density, surface tension, color mixing, weather, light refraction, and more Saltwater Desalination Experiment. Now let’s make it rain in a jar, use the food colouring or dipper to suck up some of the colored water and then gently squirt it on top of the shaving cream cloud. We practiced using thermometers with investigations inside and outside.
#Easy weather demonstrations series
In our A to Z Science series for toddlers and preschoolers, T is for Temperature. Then add a ‘cloud’ using shaving cream, and make sure it is a fluffy cloud with plenty of cream! 20+ Temperature Experiments and Activities.

Next fill the glass jar about 3/4 of the way full with tap water. Check out this rain cloud in a jar weather experiment! It’s a simple way to teach your children science even on a rainy day or even in a jar!įirst off let’s make the ‘rain’ for our simple experiment by taking the food colouring and mixing a few drops into some water.
