Science Experiment: How to make a mini tornado in a bottle of water

Hey everyone,

I am back with a very exciting post! I am here to tell you about how to make a mini tornado in a plastic bottle.

Here are the things that you will need:

• a clear plastic bottle with a cap (that won’t leak)
• water
• glitter
• some dish washing liquid

Here are the steps for how to make the tornado:

Step 1: The first instruction is fill the plastic bottle  with water until it reaches around three quarters full. By the way for this step  you just take a regular plastic water bottle that already  has water in it. You can just take a sip from the bottle until it reaches 3/4 of the bottle.

Step 2: Next add a few drops of dish washing liquid.

Step 3:  Then sprinkle in a few pinches of glitter.

After wards put the cap on lightly.  Now turn the bottle upside down and hold it by the neck. Quickly spin the bottle in a circular motion for a few seconds then stop and look inside to see if you can see a mini tornado forming.

This is what it will kind of look like

By the way this experiments is for 6 year olds and above. Now that’s how you make a mini tornado in a plastic bottle of water.

I hope you enjoyed it!
