Make rain

This is an easy demonstration that can show students a how rain is formed.

Boil some water in an electric kettle. When steam starts coming out of the spout, hold a metal spoon above it (high enough so you won’t get burned!). The steam will hit the spoon and will change into tiny droplets. As the droplets collect on the spoon they will fall and you will have rain.
