Kids: Always be sure to ask an adult for help with any science experiment for safety.
This simple experiment has a big effect. It's a great example of how we get rain from clouds. A perfect addition to a lesson on the water cycle.
What you need:
A Glass or Jar
Foaming Shaving Cream
Water
Food Coloring
How to do it:
1. Fil container up at 2/3 full with water.
2. Put about 1/2 inch of shaving cream on top.

4. Watch it rain as the "cloud" gets full of liquid from the food coloring!
Science Fair Project Ideas:
Try different amounts/types of shaving cream, food coloring, etc, and see what works best.
