STEM sLAB | Timber Joey creates a cloud in a jar

STEM sLAB, presented by Daimler Trucks North America, has Timber Joey learning how to make a cloud in a jar.

Wide Mouth glass jar with a lid

Hot water (Just hot enough to steam)

Matches

Ice Cubes

Now grab a few ice cubes and put them on top of the lid of the jar. Pretty soon a cloud will form in the jar.

Once the cloud is created open the jar…
