Tornado in a Bottle
I chose tornado in a bottle because I wanted to learn more about tornadoes.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of the study is how tornadoes form.
Hypothesis
The longer you twirl the bottles, the longer the tornadoes will last.
Materials used in the experiment
water, dish soap liquid, bottle connectors, 2, 2 liter bottles (clear bottles are better).
Procedures
1. fill plastic two liter bottle with water(one for each tornado) 3/4 high .
2. add dish soap (2 drops of dish soap) in the water
3. connect the two bottles with bottle connector(screw bottle connector tightly)
4. twirl bottles in a circular motion
Results
My results were a skinny tornado formed, the one with just water didn't have bubbles and the one with dish soap did.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my hypothesis was wrong and really the harder you twirl the bottles the longer the tornado goes.
