Tornado in a Bottle

Our Water Tornadoes

     Do you want to know how to make a water tornado?  Well, now you'll know!  First, get two 2-liter bottles, and fill one of them a little bit more than halfway with water. Next, add three or four drops of food coloring to the water.  Screw a special connector onto the spout of the bottle that is filled with water.  Take the empty bottle and screw it onto the other end of the connector.  Flip your connected bottles upside down so that the water-filled bottle is on top.  Place one hand on the connector and one hand on the top of the bottle.  Quickly, begin moving the entire apparatus in a circular motion for about 10 seconds (you may see the water bubbling).  When you stop moving the bottles, you should see a "tornado" form inside.  It might be handy to keep a towel nearby in case you have a leak!  If you want to do it again, repeat the process from the point of flipping the bottles upside down.  I hope you get to try this!
