Clouds can be a bit dramatic. They collect water until they’re full of it, and then they cry it all out onto our unsuspecting heads. It’s a beautiful process to watch, but it’s kind of hard to comprehensively watch a rainstorm unless you’re very far away. But now, you can make a rainstorm in your very own jar! As you add the water little by little to your cloud, think about all the liquid building up inside that needs to go somewhere. Thanks to gravity, that “somewhere” is down to the bottom of the jar.

Materials:
– A clear jar or glass
– Water
– Shaving cream
– Blue food coloring
– A dropper or small spoon
– Optional: A tray or shallow container to catch any spills

Directions:
1. Fill the container about three-quarters full with water.
2. Spray shaving cream on the water's surface to create a "cloud" layer.
3. In a small bowl, mix a few drops of blue food coloring with water to create "rain."
4. Using a dropper, carefully drop the "rain" onto the surface of the shaving cream cloud.
4. Watch as the blue-colored water "rains" down from the shaving cream cloud into the water below.
5. Try varying the amount of water dropped onto the shaving cream cloud. How does the intensity of the "rain" change?

Blast off on a cosmic adventure and engage your little astronomer in a thrilling solar eclipse mask activity! With solar eclipse glasses and a paper plate, children craft their own protective masks. By cutting a small viewing window in the plate and attaching solar eclipse glasses, it creates a safe way to observe the celestial event. This hands-on experience not only sparks creativity but also fosters an early interest in astronomy as children witness the wonder of a solar eclipse safely and playfully. It lays the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and exploration. To explain a solar eclipse, ask your child to imagine a special dance in the sky between the Moon and the Sun. Sometimes, the Moon goes between the Earth and the Sun, making a shadow on our planet and blocking the Sun from our view for a short time. It’s like a fantastic show where everything in our universe moves in a magical way!
Materials:
Paper plates
Scissors
Rubber band
Stapler
Silver paint
Paint brush
Solar eclipse glasses

Directions:
1. Paint the paper plate silver to give it an astronaut look! 2. Using scissors, cut lines on each side for the mask's edges to fit the glasses into.
3. Cut out a triangle in the center for the nose and holes for the eyes.
4. Slide the solar eclipse glasses through the holes on the sides of the mask.
5. For added stability, attach one end of the rubber band to each side of the mask using a stapler.
