\"\"Did anybody else get taken by surprise with a thunder and lightning and RAIN storm the other night?? Over at Miss Cobbett’s house, it was very loud – and very wet<\/em>!<\/p>\n

It got me thinking a little bit about how rain gets made in clouds. Here in Burnaby we see it raining a lot, but we don’t get to see what it looks like up in the clouds<\/em> before it starts to rain….to investigate what that looks like, Miss Cobbett did some research, and came across a fun experiment you can try at home!<\/p>\n

All you need is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

-a cup filled up pretty high with water<\/p>\n

-shaving cream<\/p>\n

-blue food colouring (though, any colour you have already works just fine!)<\/p>\n

I made a quick instructional video you can watch here<\/a> to see what Miss Cobbett’s homemade rainstorm looks like! What do you think would happen if I had added even more<\/em> <\/strong>food colouring? How long do you think I waited<\/strong> for the rain?<\/p>\n

\n
Practice patience, and see how long it takes for the rain to make its way down through your clouds! You might have to add a few extra drops on top if it’s taking a really long time, but have a conversation about how long you think it will take, and then time it! How much rain do you think you’ll have?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\n
Make some predictions together, and then record your conclusions once you’ve finished cleaning up your experiment! Careful not to get any food colouring on your clothes, in case it stains – and have fun watching your very own rain storm!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
