How clouds work!

 

Wow, what an amazing afternoon! We learnt about clouds and how much water they can hold before it rains. We filled a jar 3/4 with water and then topped it up with shaving cream (to represent clouds). Once we had our clouds ready we put a few drops of blue food colouring into some water then used a dropper to begin to fill our clouds. We were going to try to count how many droppers we needed but in our excitement we completely forgot! The clouds held so much of the blue water and then suddenly drops of rain started to fall. It was really cool and we want to go home and find dad's shaving cream....
