What do you get with two 2-liter bottles, a 1-inch washer, some water and a little electrical tape? A tornado in a bottle...or a hurricane depending on what you're studying. We just studied about Jupiter this week and talked about The Great Red Spot, that is basically a storm of swirling gases...kind of like a hurricane. Only this storm has been constant for the past couple hundred of years. We've learned many fascinating facts about Jupiter. Such as, did you know that Jupiter is not a terrestrial planet and if you tried to walk on Jupiter you would sink right to it's core? Or that Jupiter has over 60 moons? Do you know why? Okay I won't get started cause this could turn into a really long post...

Very cool! What science cirriculum do you use? I'm always looking for new ideas.
Are you using Apologia?
This all sounds very familiar. We loved our solar system study!
