HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE TORNADO

Tornado

MATERIALS:

  • two 2-litre clear plastic pop bottles (empty and clean)
  • water
  • duct tape or you can go to a science store and get a ‘tornado tube' that will connect the two 2-litre bottles together

PROCESS:

Fill one of the bottles two-thirds full of water

Use the duct tape to fasten the two containers together. Make sure to tape tightly to make sure that no water will leak out when you turn the bottle over. If you use the ‘tornado tube', just twist together tightly.

Turn the tornado maker, so that the bottle with the water is on top. Swirl the bottle in a circular motion. A tornado will form in the top bottle as the water rushes into the bottom bottle.

Have Fun!

To see a better effect you could add food coloring to make the tornado have a color and glitter to represent debris.
