Tornado

  

      Make your on tornado. Tornado tubes can be bought at many toy stores for under $2.00. This tube attaches two plastic soda bottles together.

     Simply fill one bottle 2/3 full with water and screw the Tornado Tube onto this bottle. Then attach the second plastic bottle to the other end of the Tornado Tube. To create the tornado shake the bottles in a circular motion. Set the bottles on a flat surface and watch the "tornado" in the top bottle.
