Steve Splangler shows are always educative and informative. This time he has informed us that lamp oil is available in departmental stores and it has almost same density of water. Like his father he he enliven science with magic touch and magic with science touch. My appreciation to Steve.

I remember doing this in kindergarten and at camp. This is so much fun.

One way to make a tornado is to have a jar, warm water, and dish washing soap.So what yo do fisrt is put the warm water in the jar then you put 2 drop of the dish washing soap in the jar.Last you shake the jar for about 5 seconds and you see a tornado and if you go up and down on a wood surface for 6 seconds and look and the bottom and you see a tornado.

For me school science is this science. Our teacher does what he shows in his videos.

Nice job! Thanks for watching the videos and hopefully there are more A's to come.

I like the dish soap one, bubbly ! <3

It takes just as much time to dump it since you take 4-5 seconds to spin to make tornado, and 4-5 for it all come out. But its alot more fun to make the tornado :)!

Dear Steve,
Thanks for introducing me to this product, my brother ordered this from Amazon and I can't wait to use it! It looked so fascinating to me!

In my science class we used two bottles and a twister tube, but instead of water we put the inside of a lava lamp and an LED.YOU REALLY SHOULD TRY IT, ITS AMAZING!!!

[DavidGYoung]

I bought a tornado tube for an upcoming language lesson I'm teaching. It's difficult to stop playing with the thing! Thanks for the suggestion about lamp oil.

[Erick]

I SAW THIS ON BLUES CLUES WHEN I WAS A CHILD!

[RADRazeKX]

OMFG! I've been wondering for 17 years (since I started to prefer showers to baths) if when I swirl my foot around the drain and make a tornado if the water was actually coming out faster or if it was my imagination! THANK YOU STEVE SPANGLER SCIENCE!!!

Best thing to add is two different sizes of glitter.
