wednesday june 24<\/h3>\n

It’s raining today….but hey, this is typical Vancouver weather right?\u00a0 Have you ever wondered what happens to make it rain?\u00a0 Would you like an experiment to try to see if you can make it rain?\u00a0 If you’ve ever looked out across a certain distance on a cloudy day and seen dark clouds with a haziness underneath, you know it’s raining over there!\u00a0 Here’s an experiment to create that same condition in a jar!<\/h4>\n

Check out this experiment from accuweather.com HERE<\/a> or keep reading below!<\/p>\n

What you need:<\/p>\n

Shaving cream<\/p>\n

A large jar filled half way with water<\/p>\n

2 bowls of coloured water<\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Spray the shaving cream into the large bow with water.\u00a0 The shaving cream are going to represent the clouds!<\/li>\n
  2. Begin pouring spoonfuls of coloured water onto the cloud.\u00a0 The coloured water represents all the moisture that evaporates from the earth, that goes up to the clouds.<\/li>\n
  3. Wait and watch!\u00a0 Once the clouds (shaving cream) fill with enough moisture (coloured water), you’ll see that the coloured water will streak down to the bottom of the jar.\u00a0 That’s the cloud letting go of all the moisture in the form of RAIN!!\u00a0 When you see hazy streaks in the distance on a cloudy day, this is what you are seeing far away; rain!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
