Workshop Plans: Cloud in a Bottle Inquiry Lab

I try to make as many labs as possible fit an inquiry-based format, namely trial and error.  Take something as simple as the cloud in a bottle lab, popular in Earth Science lessons.  This lab offers four different trials and is already inquiry-based.  But, I suggest researching different methods and letting the kids try them all: Clouds with matches, Cloud in Jar with Ice and Hairspray, and Steve Spangler style with a pump!  Your kids will have no problems understanding experimental design!
