Super Science Friday - Cloud in a Bowl

We made a model of a cloud in a bowl using shaving foam.


Next we added some drop of blue food colouring to represent water molecules inside a cloud.  The water vapour cools higher up and condenses to form clouds.


As we added more drops they simulated water molecules banging together and forming water droplets.  When the droplets are big enough they fall (precipitate) from the cloud.





We had fun watching the blue rain fall from our cloud.
Try and make your own cloud at home.
