Help ! Tornado!

Dear Friend,
I just completed my first science project of my school year. I made a tornado in a bottle! I did it for astronomy, to represent Jupiter's tornadoes. Jupiter has the most violent and dangerous storms ever.
And don't forget the famous red spot! It's so big that that you can fit 2 whole earths in it!!!
Now want to make a bottle tornado?  Here's how:

You will need:
A 2 2-liter soda bottle
duct tape and/or electrical tape ( I put down Duct tape and then electrical tape)
washer
tap water
(optional) glitter or small paper cut outs

Fill one bottle 2/3s of the way with water. Put glitter in if you desire. Put the washer on the top of the bottle.
Put the other bottle on top. Now tape them together. Now you're done!

Now tilt it upside down and spin it fast.Tornado!!!!! Now just turn it upside down without spinning it. Is it slower this time? It's because the air and the water are fighting for the same spot. When it's spinning, the air can go in the middle where there's a hole, and the water can go on the sides!

Good luck making the tornado! Look out for my next letter!

  See you soon!
Ali
