  1. Tornado in a Bottle Can you re-create a tornado with a few simple supplies?

  2. Materials 2 2-liter clear plastic pop bottles (empty and clean) water duct tape food coloring glitter

  3. Procedure PROCESS: Fill one of the bottles two-thirds full of water. Add food color and glitter. Use duct tape to fasten the two containers. Make sure to tape tightly to make sure that no water will leak out when you turn the bottle over. Turn the tornado maker, so that the bottle with the water is on top. Swirl the bottle in a circular motion. Most tornadoes form counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. A tornado will form in the top bottle as the water rushes into the bottom bottle.

  4. Explanation The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex and is a easy way to create your own tornado.
