Indoor Rain Clouds

Making indoor rain clouds demonstrates the idea of temperature, the measure of how hot or cold something is. Here’s how to do it:


Take two clear glasses that fit snugly together when stacked. (Cylindrical glasses with straight sides work well.)


Fill one glass half-full with ice water and the other half-full with very hot water (definitely an adult job – and take care not to shatter the glass with the hot water!). Be sure to leave enough air space for the clouds to form in the hot glass.

    Hello, I’m having a bit of trouble navigating the website. Under “Select Lesson”, I seem to find a lesson at times but other times it’s just an experiment. Are the experiments meant to replace a lesson from time to time?

    Also, my daughter is entering grade 3 and my son grade 5. Could they do science together? If so, which grade would you recommend?

    Thank you,
