Jar Clouds

As part of our Stage 2 Science unit on Water last year, my class conducted this Jar Cloud experiment to demonstrate precipitation in the Water Cycle. It was also linked to our English Procedural writing task for that term as well.





What You Need:

• Shaving cream
• Glass jar
• Water
• Coloured food dye

 

Method:

1. Fill the jar 3/4 full of water (atmosphere)
2. Squirt shaving cream on top (cloud)
3. Drop food dye droplets on top of the shaving foam
4. Watch the dye leak through the foam and into the water.
