Detecting tornados

Do we have tornados here too? What is a tornado, anyway?

Tornados not only exist in the USA; they can arise here in Germany as well. Observations confirm that in southern Lower Saxony there are about five tornados every ten years which leave behind a destructive track. That's reason enough for the DLR_School_Lab Göttingen to investigate this phenomenon. With the help of a "tornado machine" you can yourselves produce a whirlwind and become acquainted in experiments with the interesting conditions that favor the emergence and destructive impact of tornados.
