This experiment is so cool, because you are literally making a cloud inside of a jar! The clouds that form in this experiment are identical to the ones that form in the sky. Pretty cool, right?
Are you ready to make a cloud in-a-jar?
Cloud in-a-Jar
Materials- A glass jar
- Boiling water
- Ice
- Hairspray
- A jar-lid or paper plate
Method
- Begin by filling a jar 1-2 inches of the way with boiling water.

- Carefully swirl the water inside of the jar to heat the sides of the glass.
- Then, place the lid upside-down on top of the jar. If you don't have the lid to the jar you can use a paper plate.
- Fill the lid with ice.

- Allow the ice to sit on top of the jar for a minute or two.
- You will have to be quick with this next part, so be ready.
- After a minute quickly lift the lid of ice from the jar and spray a bit of hairspray into the jar.
- Then, quickly place the lid of ice back onto the jar.

- And within a few moments the entire jar will be a cloud!
- Observe the cloud in the jar for a minute or two.
- Then, when you are ready you can release it!

How cool is that?
My girls had so much fun and wanted to make cloud after cloud!
Note: You may want to release your clouds in front of a black backdrop, as that makes it much easier to see the cloud in the air.

The Science Behind the Fun
What causes the cloud to form inside of the jar?
- Warm, wet air rises from the boiling water inside of the jar.
- That warm air meets with the cool air just below the ice.
- When the warm air meets the cold air it creates water droplets that form together to create an instant cloud in-a-jar!
Why the hairspray?
- The hair spray is used to create particles in the air.
- The particles give the water droplets something to form onto, just as dust and other particles in the air do for a real cloud in the sky!
