Weather Experiment

We are learning about weather this week!  We have been talking about how clouds are formed and the water cycle.  Today we read two stories about rain and looked at a poster on the water cycle.  Afterwards we created our own little rainstorms!   We filled jars with water, added shaving cream to the top (that was our cumulus cloud).  Then we slowly started to add the colored water to the cloud until it got heavy enough to start raining!  It was a very fun experiment!  
I have attached a link at the end of this post if you want to try making your own rainstorms at home!
