I\u2019m Science Trainer Ken Kuwako. Every day is an experiment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, let\u2019s explore a simple experiment about adiabatic expansion. It\u2019s easy enough to try at home, but the science behind it is exactly the same process that creates clouds in the sky. You only need a few everyday items, so give it a try yourself!<\/p>\n

What You\u2019ll Need & How to Do It<\/h3>\n

You only need three things: an empty plastic bottle, a quick spray of rubbing alcohol, and shoe deodorizing spray<\/a> (Amazon)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

First, spray a little rubbing alcohol into the empty bottle. Gently shake the bottle so the inside fills with alcohol vapor. Next, spray in a small amount of deodorizing spray and quickly cap the bottle.<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019re ready. Simply squeeze the bottle tightly with your hand.<\/p>\n
