Materials: crushed ice, salt, medium cap and small cap
-
Have kids fill large cup 1/2 way with the crushed ice.
-
Add 1/3 cup salt
-
Put the smaller cup into the middle of the larger cup (try not to touch the ice with your fingers)
-
Blow into the small cup
-
You will start to see a small cloud
Pretty cool! The cloud is formed because your breath contains water vapor, a gas. When the vapor hits the cold air in the smaller cap it turns from a gas to a liquid forming tiny drops of water this makes the cloud form.
