How to Build a Tornado in a Bottle

Parent Prep

This book is easy to use cold, but a parent can enhance the experience by gathering the materials in advance: two identical clear plastic bottles (soda bottles work best), water, and duct or electrical tape. It's also wise to prepare a space where a little water spilling won't be a problem, like a kitchen sink, bathtub, or outdoor area. A parent has just seen their child staring in awe at a storm, or heard them ask, "How does a tornado work?" The child might be showing an early interest in how things are made or taking things apart to see the mechanics. This book is the perfect response to that spark of scientific curiosity.
