Mrs. Simmons class did a rain experiment today. They took water, placed shaving cream on top to act as the cloud, and put food coloring on top to act as the rain. They observed that the heavier the food coloring, the quicker the color moved through the shaving cream. They were able to make the connection that the heavier the rain is in a cloud the faster it falls to the ground!
