Year 6 McLaren Science Lessons with our Pre-Service Teacher

Science Jar Experiment with Ms Mannah:

In this lesson, we made a model of cyclones using jars, food colouring, glitter and dishwashing liquid. It was really fun to see how the model cyclone spun like in real life and to see which jar worked the best for this experiment. We found that having the jar upright when we are spinning works better than if the jar was upside down. Also, having a lighter colour is clearer to see the cyclone rather than darker colours.

I really liked how the experiment represented what a cyclone would look like in real life.

I really liked how in this experiment you could be creative in the colours you choose.

I really liked how the experiment was fun but also gave us the opportunity to learn at the same time.
