Tornado!!!

Today we finished our 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' project by making a 'tornado in a bottle'!

We used a simple plastic water bottle which we filled 3/4 full with water. We added 1 teaspoon of liquid soap, and one teaspoon of vinegar. We replaced the lid TIGHT!!!! We shook the bottle hard so that everything mixed together and created lots of bubbles and foaminess.

Then we rotated the bottle in a circular motion which created a tornado inside the bottle :) The more you rotate the bottle and the harder you rotate it, the clearer it is to see the tornado - and you can make the funnel touch the 'ground'!!

Tomorrow we are starting our next book project which is 'Where the Wild Things Are'. We have read this book many times before, but this time I have a 'literature kit' to use with it...and after we finish the work, we will go and see the movie which is now in theatres.
