Hurricanes are huge circular storms of wind, clouds, and rain that form over warm tropical oceans. The clouds in a hurricane can be seen as circular bands that spiral around a hurricane’s eye. You can duplicate the swirling motion around the calm eye of a hurricane.
  
• Large round bowl or tub of water
• Spoon
• Food coloring with a dropper top
First get permission to use kitchen equipment and ingredients.
1. Moving the spoon in a circular motion around the side of a bowl, stir the water.
2. When the water is moving fast, stop stirring and immediately put several drops of food coloring into the center of the swirling water. The color will move out from the center forming bands—much as clouds in a hurricane do.
