Creating a Cloud

In Science class we have transitioned from talking about phases of matter to discussing the water cycle. The first class to do an experiment with the water cycle was today and they couldn't have enjoyed it more! We created our own clouds in a 2 liter bottle.

Each student will have a copy of the experiment walkthrough, and the important thing to know is that they need a teacher or parent around to do this experiment.

We put some water into a bottle, raised it's humidity by squeezing the bottle repeatedly, then dropped a just used match with its smoke into the bottle, then added pressure to make the water vapor condense. Science Rules!
