Making it Rain!

Today in Mrs. Bristley's small group the children were gathered together to discuss what makes rain.  The children answered "the clouds," and "the sky gets very dark."  They were then taken outside to participate in a science experiment.  The children were given a cup with water and shaving cream on top.  They then added "rain" to the "cloud" and watched as the "rain" seeped through the shaving cream to create a rainstorm.  After, the children figured out that they could mix the shaving cream with the "rain" and the shaving cream created a swirl with blue in it.  The children really enjoyed their science experiment and learning about what makes rain!
