Cloud in a Jar
Could you imagine holding a cloud in your hand? It may sound bizarre because nobody has hands that are long enough to reach that high. Fortunately, there is a way you can create your own cloud in a jar!
Here is what you will need:
- A jar with a lid
- 1/3 cup of hot water
- Ice
- Hairspray
- Pour hot water in a jar and try swirling it around the jar to warm up the sides.
- Turn the lid upside down and place a bunch of ice cubes on the lid and let it stay for 20 seconds.
- Remove the lid and quickly spray some hairspray into the jar
- Replace the lid with the ice still on top. You will start to see the cloud form
- When you see a good amount of condensation form in the jar, remove the lid and watch the cloud come into the air
This experiment will dip a SUPERGirl’s toes in weather science and teach them how clouds form. Have fun doing this experiment and share with SGSF how your cloud looks!
