Make your own tornado in a bottle!
You'll need:
• Two 2-liter bottles
• Metal washer
• Electrical tape
• Glitter or food coloring
• Water
Fill one of the bottles about 2/3 full
with water. Add glitter or food coloring.
Place a metal washer over the opening
of the bottle. Carefully balance the
empty bottle on top. Tape together.
Turn the bottles over, giving a small
rotation and watch what happens!
ub a comb with a piece of
wool. Then touch the comb
to a metal doorknob. Watch
sparks jump between the knob
and the comb.
Now, imagine the huge sparks
that form when thunderclouds
bump against each other.
That's lightning!

R.S.V.P.
Have your students
create an invitation to
an imaginary summer
party in their future.
Use this graphic
organizer.
R.S.V.P. means
"Répondez s'il vous
plait." This is French
for "Please reply." It is
polite to respond to an
invitation even if the
party, for now, is only
in your imagination.
