We decided to try an experiment
called Inside Cloud
(thanks for the great pukapuka Uncle Craig)I chose this experiment because:
(1) It's such a simple experiment anyone can do it the next time they want to make a cuppa, and (2) It was relevant on such a wet weekend to discuss the weather.
Simply place a metal tray over the spout as it boils (whaiāipo did this so I could take the photos)
As the water boils and steam begins to appear we discussed the droplets of water are what clouds are made of. We spoke about how the sun heats the air around us which then rises up into the sky. The air eventually cools down, then millions of droplets of water cling together to form the clouds we see. Once the droplets get too heavy they fall back down as rain or snow.
~~~ooOoo~~~
We decided to make a musical instrument ...
The three bigger kids worked together
