Science: make it rain experiment
As part of our learning on states of matter this half term, we conducted an experiment to see if we could make it rain in a jar. Our method involved pouring hot water into a jar and putting a plate on top, ensuring no air could escape. We then waiting for 4 minutes before putting cold ice cubes onto the plate. We found out that the cold plate causes the moisture in the warm air, which is inside the jar to condense and form water droplets. This is the same thing that happens in the atmosphere. Warm, moist air rises and meets colder air high in the atmosphere. The water vapor condenses and forms precipitation that falls to the ground. Amazing!
Science: States of Matter exploration
We had a great science lesson, discussing whether different materials were solids, liquids or gases!
