But think bigger. From the sky hurricanes look a lot like pinwheels. They have a center called an eye. Strong winds blow clouds round and round the eye. With an adult partner, find a long, shallow baking pan, a spoon, and food coloring.
Food coloring can stain clothing.
Fill the pan a little more than half way with water. Gently move the head of the spoon down the center of the water, the long way. Wait a few seconds for the water to calm. Now put one drop of food coloring in the center of the pan. Watch the color move.
