Earlier this spring I was driving home from my parents house through the country side with the kids. They live about 45 minutes away and the drive is mostly past corn fields and farms.

Agnes | Toddler Learning Activities on Instagram: "Tornado in a jar 🌪️

♥️ Fill a jar with water
🧡 Add a squirt of dish soap (1 tsp)
💛 And a bit of vinegar (1 tsp)
💚 Close the lid
💙 Now hold the jar from the top and spin it in a circular motion
💜 Set it down and watch a tornado form! 🌪️

How does this work? 🤯

♥️ When you spin the jar, you actually put a force on the water that pushes it outwards against the glass
🧡 When you set it down, friction slows the water touching the edge of the glass
💛 The water is the pulled into a funnel by centripetal force (this pulls the water to the center of the jar) 
💚 The water speeds up and creates a vortex

💌 Save and share with a friend for inspiration
