Understanding RAIN

During our Super Science Wednesday, we explored the topic of "rain".  We did the following simple experiment, which you may enjoy trying at home!

We took a clear cup and filled it partly with water.
The water represents the atmosphere.
Then, we put shaving cream on the top.
The shaving cream represents the clouds.

We added drops of blue food colouring.
The food colouring represents the rain.

As the cloud gets heavy with the rain, the rain comes out of the cloud into the atmosphere. 

Then, we got a little silly....
We imagined if rain drops came in different colours.
Look at the beautiful colors!!
