Weather experiments

We have completed

• cloud in a jar
• rain in a jar
• how clouds are made
• tornado in a jar.

It has been fun observing using our 5 senses during our experiments.

Now we are also concentrating on asking questions.

When we blow in our hands it feels warm and moist.

When we breathed on the cold spoons the water vapour in our breath
condensed on the spoon. 

It hoofed up just like a mirror in the bathroom.

We made different types of clouds in shaving foam on the tables. 

So messy... but so much fun!

Then we wrote words in the foam, such as rain, wet...

We went outside last week when it was so, so windy.
It was blustery! Our flag was flapping.

We looked this way and the sky was blue and clear.

We looked this way and we had cumulus clouds.

We looked this way and saw cirrus clouds.

This cloud looked just like a horse...or dragon...

The wind was strong and cold. We had to huddle together.

Our ears were cold.

Our fingers were numb and pink.

Our hair was blowing all over the place.

Brrr cold noses!

Not long after this photo the weather really changed. There was hail in
these clouds.

The wind tried to blow us all away.. Thank goodness we didn't
get blown over.

We felt like twisting, twirling, spinning leaves being blown about.
