Tornados in a bottle

 Rowan and Wiremu constructing their Tornado Bottle.
 Our experiment didn't work the first time because we filled the bottle up too much and didn't spin the water inside to start a tornado spinning. (Holly and Claudia)
 If you look closely you can see the tornado funnel inside the bottle spinning around. (Nathan and Rowan)
 I enjoyed doing the experiment, we coloured our water blue with dye, it took me a couple of goes to get it right and get the tornado going. (Wiremu)







 Why did we do this experiment?  We did this so we could see how air moves during a tornado and learn about wind currents. It was really fun watching the tornado in a bottle. (Nathan)

  1. Hi tornado makers,
    Your experiment looks really fun and exciting. I like the glitter tornado because it was spinning really well. How did make these tornados? Where did the idea come from?
    From room 2 learners.

  3. Hi,
    They looked really cool.
    What did you use to make them?
    How long did they take to make?
    How long did the tornado go on for?
