Salt
Clear liquid dish detergent
Water
Measuring spoons

Toothpick
Small objects like- Paper clips, rubber bands, Toothpicks, small coins (pennies,dimes), etc.
Fill the bottle with water, leaving around 3.7cm at the top.

Take the toothpick and dip the toothpick into the liquid detergent. Now make sure that you drop only one drop of the detergent, do not put more than one drop
Add the objects into the bottle and screw on the lid.
Now set the bottle on the table and using both hands rotate the bottle as fast as possible in counter clockwise direction
Observe: The objects you have added into the water are spinning in the twister!!!
