Description

Create a captivating rain cloud in a jar science experiment that visually demonstrates how rain forms. This easy and fun activity is perfect for kids to explore weather concepts.

Ingredients

Scale

1 clear jar or cup (mason jar recommended)
1 can of foamy shaving cream
Water
A few drops of blue food coloring
1 small cup or bowl
1 dropper, straw, or spoon

Instructions

Fill the clear jar about three-quarters full with water. This represents the atmosphere.
Shake the shaving cream can and spray a fluffy layer over the water to create the cloud.
In the small cup, mix a few drops of blue food coloring with a little water to make your ‘rainwater’.
Use the dropper, straw, or spoon to gently drip the blue mixture onto the shaving cream cloud and observe the ‘rain’ falling through.

Notes

Use foamy shaving cream, not gel, for the best cloud effect.
Experiment with different food coloring colors for varied rain effects.
Supervise young children during the experiment.
Clean up promptly to prevent food coloring stains.
This is a demonstration, not an actual weather prediction tool.
