Tornado Time

There were 5 containers up the back of the room each with a jar, a bottle and a cloth in them.
There was only water in the jar  so it didn't seem that anything exciting was going to happen.

                                                              WE WERE WRONG.

We took the jar and put in a big squirt of dish washing liquid. We made sure the lid was on tightly and we the swirled it all around and waited to see what would happen.

                                                     We could see a tornado in the jar .
If you add a little glitter and a few drops of dye you could make it look even better .

Next we filled the bottle with water and screwed on the special attachment. We didn't know what it was for but we soon found out. Then we screwed on a second bottle and swirled it around.

                                              This time we made a tornado in a bottle!!
We found out that it was a tornado tube that we had screwed onto the bottles.
We watched a video that taught us all about how tornadoes are formed and we also found out about storm chasers. We found out that in America the schools do tornado drills just like we do earthquake  drills.
Thanks to Cianna for the great photos.
