Because every other Tuesday is science experiment and cooking day. We did three other experiments:
Cloud in a bottle
As clouds are formed when water droplets in the air cool and then collect on dust particles. In this experiment the dust particles are provided by the smoke from the match. The air inside the bottle was cooled by releasing the pressure after the bottle was squeezed.
Tornado in a jar
The last of our experiments for the day did not work. It was making an Anemometer, to measure wind speed, what with all the high winds we have just had from Storm Helene.
Well I couldn't make it, or understand it - paper cups, pins, pencils, straws, way too technical for me, so as my eldest son was home I asked him to help. Once made, it did not move an inch, even when placed on a high pole with the wind howling it did not budge. A Hurricane could have swept through our town and it still wouldn't have moved.
So no photos as I stamped on it all 😠
