 Create a Cloud

Clouds form when water evaporates from the

ocean and condenses in cold air high above the ground.
Tiny droplets of water form around microscopic
specks of dust which then come together to form a
cloud. Create your own wisps of cloud from ice, water
and smoke.

oceans are warmed by sunlight,

some of the water evaporates and becomes
water vapour which is held in the air. As the warm air
rises, it expands and cools until the water vapour
condenses back into a li~uid. But hot water molecules
need a solid surface to stick to before they can
condense. Dust particles into the air act as tiny
condensation sites where the vapour can condense
and form tiny water droplets. The droplets build up in
millions to form a cloud. In the jar, smoke particles
from the match act as tiny sites which allows the
vapour to condense and form a cloud.

Science around us

The three main types of clouds are cirrus,

cumulus and stratus. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy
and high in the sky, cumulus clouds are puffy and
white with a flat base and stratus clouds form
layers or blankets. These clouds come in many
variations. Clouds with nimbus in the name indicate
rain. In the right conditions cumulus clouds can
grow taller and taller, forming giant cumulonimbus
thunderclouds.

 The stunning city of Rio de Janeiro houses the most
iconic and lavish carnival celebration held worldwide.
Although the carnival is observed for a period of four
days but it marks Brazil>s biggest holiday season with
the festive mood lasting for the entire Brazilian
summer. Every year, about two million people hit the
streets of Rio, each day, to celebrate this crazy
Carnival filled with dance, music and parades. In fact,
the entire event witnesses a turnout of over a million
visitors to Brazil, making it a global phenomenon,
thereby attracting paparazzi and live media
coverage internationally.

The origin of the Carnival is debatable. However, it is

believed to have been introduced by Catholics in Italy, back
in the eighteenth century. The four-day festival starts on
Friday afternoon and stretches up to the Ash Wednesday
noon, which marks the onset of Lent, the forty-day period
before Easter. Traditionally, the Catholic Christians refrain
from consuming meat during Lent. Basically, it started off
as a food festival to treat people for the last time before
vivr,,......,..,..,-,~ they go into forty days of abstinence. The term 'carnival>
comes from the Italian phrase Carne Le Var which means
1
to remove meat,.

08
Though the Carnival is held all over the country of BraziL
Rio1 primarily the birthplace of Samba music1 stages the
most extravagant festivities. Conventionally> the Carnival
commences with the coronation of King Momo1 the
mythical king of Carnivals. Every year a fafi jolly-looking
man is selected to portray the role1 as the original King
Momo was believed to be of that physical stature.
Historically> a Carnival Queen is also selected based on her
beauty and samba dance skills. The king is given
the giant silver and gold key to the city by
the Mayor1 post which the festival begins.

The major attract ions at the Rio fest ival are the street -
carnivals and the samba school parades. The street parties
are featured by the Blocos1 also called the bandas1 which
constitute the free-spirited bands. These bands either
remain at fixed locations or parade along with some
predetermined routes on trucks. The revellers are decked
up in makeshift costumes or even as animals and dance the
traditional samba on contemporary music. The Blocos are
local to their
neighborhood and usually have a
starting time and point. It 1s an explosion of colours1
costumes1 food and merriment when the locals and the
tourists alike1 march on the streets grooving to the
incredible samba rhythm - free of cost!

09
While street carnival belongs to the old school Carnival
celebrations1 the samba parades came into being only in
the early twentieth century when some Blocos organized
themselves into samba schools. The samba schools are the
large group of performers who participate in the Samba
Parade pageant which is held in the final two days of the
Carnival. They are financed by several organisations for
their elaborate costumes1 incredible choreography and
year-round preparations to win the esteemed Samba
Parade competition. The participants have to write their
own music and lyrics1 theme their f Ioats and costumes and
practice samba all through the year in order to impress
the panel of judges in the parade. It is considered
a great honor to win the parade. Samba Parades are
ticketed events and are held at stadiums
constructed along the samba procession
runway> which is called the Sambadromes.

Write - ups can only take you as far as a sneak peek at an

event. The rich culture of the fantastic city of Rio1 the
adrenaline rush and the thrilling adventure make the Rio
Carnival an experience of a lifetime for all the party goers
out there. Even in the scorching heat of 35 °C1 people sing
and dance the nights away in this truly spectacular festival.
So book your tickets and grab your backpack. Sense1
reathe and witness the most phenomenal Carnival in the
history of the world!

 Make a Soda Shoot

Making a jet of fizzy drink shoot out of a bottle is a

lot of fun, but is it science? Of course! It s an example
1

of nucleation - a process that makes lots of bubbles or

droplets form at places called nucleation
sites. In case of soda, amount of gas released
is too high to be contained in a botlte.

~ou will neecl

• Bottles of different fizzy drinks
• Sugar coated chewy mints
• Card or paper
• Toothpick

Y'larning
This is a very messy experiment so
perform it outside and be prepared
to clean up the mess. Be careful not
to shake the bottles while you 1 re
taking them out!

~ 12
 .

Stepl
Place a bottle on level ground and open it.
Roll a sheet of card or paper into a tube
and insert it into the neck of the bottle.
Push a toothpick through the middle of
the tube so that it is held in place.

Make sure that the toothpick is resting on

the rim of the bottle. Place at least four
mints inside the tube so that sit on top of
the toothpick and do not fall into
.:; . the drink.

Step 3 ~·.f;_.•
~ ;;iiiiiiiii_.;.;;;;iiiiiiiii;;;;iiiiiiiii~:[ft~r~t. Let the mints drop into the bottle by
\i ;1 :~
·· \; pulling out the toothpick. Quickly
remove the carboard tube and
stand a few steps back before the
drink erupts from the bottle.

~ 13
 .

l--low cioes this woY'K?

Fizzy drinks contain dissolved carbon gases,

which is what makes them fizzy. Microscopic pits
on the surface of the mints provide nucleation sites
for the carbon gas bubbles to form much q,uicker than
normal. So many bubbles form so q,uickly that the drink
jets out of the bottle. No one is sure exactly why, but
the ingredients of the drinks also seem to affect the
speed and height of thejet. Diet drinks containing sugar
substitutes tend to produce the biggest jets .

Contrails

You can see nucleation at work in the cloudy,

white trails left behind by airlines. Known
contrails, they occur when the particles from the
engine>s exhaust form nucleation sites (so named
because they provide a nucleus for something to
gather around). The moisture in the air condenses
and freezes at these sites to create clouds, which is
what you see from the ground.
