Science! 💥

We created some experiments to help us understand our weather topic. First we found that the rain falls when the droplets grow heavy and drop down through the cloud to the ground.

Next we created a cloud in a jar using hot water and ice to show us how the water cycle works. We found that warm, moist air meets cold air and voila – a cloud forms in a jar!

We learned some very big words – evaporation,  condensation and precipitation.

Then we learned that rainbows happen when sunlight bends through raindrops, splitting into colours like magic!

Next we found that light also bend when it enters water, making things look shifted,  stretched or even disappear!

Now you see it!

Now you don’t!      🪄
