We took a break from cooking club and turned it into a science club! We learned about tornadoes. The kids enjoyed looking at pictures of real tornadoes, along with watch a few tornado videos. New vocabulary words were learned too....funnel cloud, tornado, tornado alley, and debris.
Weather wiz kids gave us a lot of new information, such as the difference between a tornado watch and a warning. Check out the website....
Working in groups, each table made their own tornado in a bottle. We used two 2-liter empty bottles. We filled one 2/3 of the way up. Debris and food coloring we added to the water. The bottles were stacked and taped together. Once the tornado bottles were complete, we each took turns swirling the bottles. The kids were amazed when the tornadoes started to form in the bottles!
