TORNADO IN A JAR

MATERIALS:

• mayonnaise jar or a canning jar
• clear liquid soap
• vinegar
• water

PROCESS:

Fill the jar about three-quarters full of water.

Put a teaspoon of the liquid soap into the jar.

Also, add a teaspoon of vinegar into the jar.

Tighten the lid and shake the jar to mix up the ingredients.

Now, swirl the jar in a circular motion.

The liquid will form a small tornado.

*If you want to get creative, you can also use food coloring to make the tornado have a color and glitter to represent debris

EXPLANATION:

The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex and is a easy way to create your own tornado.
