== Demonstration == # Plug in the hot plate and turn it to medium/low heat. place the bowl with water in it on top of the plate and allow it to heat up. You want the water to be hot, but not boiling or simmering. # Set the tornado box around the hot plate, with the windows facing outward for students to look in. Put a large piece of dry ice into the bowl of water, and adjust the slots on the side of the box. You want to get the slots open enough to allow a cyclone to form in the rising cloud from the bowl. The breeze in the room and the temperature of the water will affect how big or small the slots need to be. # Once set up, students can come check it out and adjust the slots to see if they can change the size of the cyclone, or if a cyclone isn't there they can try to make it. Watch the demonstration and add dry ice and water as needed throughout the event.
