Experiment

Can you see the wind? Well maybe if you live in the high desert and a sand storm kicks up. Milton and I read a little about air currents (Quentin and I happen to see a video about the same thing) and how warm and cool air react to each other.

So we filled a mason jar with ice cold water. The in a small glass bottle we put in hot water. Next we were suppose to all food coloring but I could not find the cheap ones i had. So we added sugar sprinkles instead and let it dissolve.

With a ribbon tied around the little bottle we lowered it into the mason jar. After waiting a couple minutes the green started to slowly come out. This is to demonstrate how hot is lighter than cold. The hot water floats to the surface. We could be how it swirls and how a current works.
