*UPDATED WITH LINKS!*
I'm sure you've seen of or heard of tornado tubes. Totally fun to do and SO addictive.
Here's what we started with:
- Two empty two liter bottles,
- a TORNADO TUBE (the little connector)*
- food coloring
- glitter
- dish soap
- oil
We added each ingredient one at a time to see what the difference was in the tornado.
Lastly, I have included a video of the tornado. The quality is horrible but at least you get the idea.
This CRAFTivity would be an excellent add to an Energy/Power Lesson.

15 JUICY LOVE NOTES:
fun!! i loved making those in elementary school! and zorro looks so cute! btw- i miss you. i've been a bad blog friend...life's been blah lately!
My son came home with one of these in kindergarten and it was a huge hit at Casa de Dummies. Had to throw it away when one of them hit it with a bat while using it as a tee, but it had a good run!
OJ: How adorable is he? Look at his face so delighted to watch the tornado. Love it.
Oh that is soooo cool.
That is something we definately hav to make here. My little boys would love it.
We are going to do this when we study Kansas. Can't wait!
I agree those are addictive. And much better and less scary than seeing them in real life.
What a fun idea. I just HAVE to do it - need to look for that Tornado connector. Zorro looks like he is totally enjoying himself.
The kids at Our Humble High School make a version of this in Physics class. Fun stuff! SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did!
oooh I love this! We are going to have to try it when we learn about weather this year.
Thanks for sharing.
So fun! I've never seen anything like that before. Definitely on our list of things to try.
Very cool! I've never heard of this! =)
Very cool ! Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I love it!! I would try :)
Thanks from Spain
I remember playing with one of these as a kids, and loving it.
My oldest did this in third grade and it has been a favorite ever since.
