Today we will learn how to make FOG. Below are the materials and instructions on how to make it.
MATERIALS:
glass jar strainer water ice cubes PROCESS:
Fill up the jar completely with hot water for about a minute. Pour out almost all the water, but leave about one inch in the jar. Put the strainer over the top of the jar.
Place a few (3-4) ice cubes in the strainer.
Watch what happens!
EXPLANATION:
The cold air from the ice cubes collides with the warm, moist air in the bottle causing the water to condense and forming an eerie fog.
