Product Overview
The Discovery #Mindblown Tornado Lab is an educational weather-science activity that creates a visible water vortex inside a transparent chamber. The device allows children to observe the structure and movement of a simulated tornado while experimenting with different vortex speeds.
A five-speed controller changes the intensity of the water vortex. Included storm debris makes the circulating motion easier to observe, while a viewing opening allows users to look down toward the center of the simulated storm. The unit also produces storm sounds as part of the demonstration. An experiment guide provides supporting educational activities. The Tornado Lab is recommended for children ages 6 and older and requires three AA batteries, which are not included. The exact configuration is identified by UPC 843479138450 and GTIN 00843479138450.
