Rainstorm in a Bottle

 
 What you will need: Empty plastic bottle

What to do: Cut a bottle in half. Fill the bottom part halfway with hot tap water.
Turn the top part upside down, cap firmly fastened and fill with ice.
Place inverted top over bottom, and watch what happens.


Here is another method for making Rain:
Boil some water in a pot or tea kettle.
Fill a pie pan with ice cubes and hold it above the pot in the steam "Cloud"
Have the children observe that when the steam comes in condact with the cool air from the pie pan, drops of water form and fall back into the pot like rain,
**Adult supervision required**
