STEM Studio-Rainy Day in a Jar

Create a storm—no forecast required! In this hands-on lab, tweens and teens will model real atmospheric processes by building a rain cloud in a jar. Watch as “clouds” form, build pressure, and release rain right before your eyes.

Using everyday materials, participants will explore how clouds hold moisture, what causes rain to fall, and how weather systems work. This interactive experiment turns simple supplies into real science and brings weather to life in a fun, engaging way.
