Making Rain
In this activity learners will perform an experiment to investigate how rain falls from clouds. They will spray shaving foam on top of a glass of water to create a ‘cloud’. They will then add food colouring and watch as the cloud fills up, producing ‘rain’, and discuss their findings as a class.
