Description
A magical science experiment that creates a dazzling, fizzing storm cloud in a jar, perfect for curious minds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 clear glass jar with lid
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup shaving cream (or foam soap)
- ¼ cup white glue (optional for thicker clouds)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup vinegar
- Neon or glow-in-the-dark food coloring (blue, purple, or your favorite)
- Small flashlight or LED light (for extra glow)
- Pipette or dropper
Instructions
- Build the Base – Fill the jar ¾ full with water—this is your ‘sky.’
- Fluffy Cloud Mix – In a bowl, whip shaving cream and glue (if using) until light and airy.
- Cloud Layer – Gently spoon the mixture on top of the water to create a puffy cloud.
- Glowing Rain – Mix vinegar with neon food coloring in a small cup.
- Storm Time! – Use a dropper to add colored vinegar onto the cloud. Watch it ‘rain’ with fizzy magic!
- Light It Up (Optional) – Shine a flashlight under the jar in a dark room for an eerie glow.
- Keep the Fun Going – Add more vinegar drops to extend the reaction!
Notes
- ✨ Use glow paint instead of food coloring for a longer-lasting glow effect.
- ✨ Try layering different colors for a rainbow thunderstorm!
- ✨ For bigger ‘lightning,’ add a pinch of glitter to the vinegar mix.
