Things to do - create a cloud

This is an almost educational activity, but don't let that put you off!

You can make a cloud in your kitchen using a clear, empty two litre plastic pop bottle, a match and some water.

First, fill the bottle one third full of hot water. Put the top on and give it a really good shake for one minute. As the water evaporates, water vapour will be produced in the wit inside the bottle.

Unscrew the top of the bottle and hold a lit match just inside the opening for a few seconds. Drop the lit match into the bottle and immediately replace the cap. Watch as the space above the water fills with smoke and soot.

Give the bottle a tight squeeze then quickly release it. Keep squeezing and releasing the bottle until you see a cloud form.

Once you have created your cloud, take the cap off the bottle and watch the little cloud escape.
