Materials:

• Large bowl
• Water
• Spoon
• Food coloring – We used liquid food coloring.

Directions:

1. Fill the bowl about 3/4 full with water.
2. Stir the water with a spoon until it is spinning.
3. Place a drop of food coloring near the center of the bowl as the water continues to spin.
4. Observe how a hurricane is being created with the eye of the storm in the middle and the bands becoming loose as you look toward the edges of the bowl.
