When you flip the bottle you impart some circulation into the bottle. As water gets pulled in towards the hole at the bottom of the bottle this circulation speeds up through the conservation of angular momentum. The draining water and vortex enhance one another until it forms a "tornado."
to make a tornado in a bottle you can 1. spin a single bottle full of liquid or 2. spin 2 two liter bottles atttatched to each other at the mouth with duct tape. No lids
Placing a marble in a tornado in a bottle will just act as another object caught in the vortex created inside the bottle. It will spin around with the other air and debris, but won't have any significant impact on the overall behavior of the tornado.
To make a tornado in a bottle with glitter, fill a clear plastic bottle halfway with water. Add glitter and a drop of dish soap for visibility. Twist the bottle to create a vortex, simulating a tornado.
A tornado in a bottle project uses liquid to simulate the vortex motion of a real tornado. Both involve rotating air masses creating a funnel shape. However, the scale and force of a real tornado are much stronger and destructive than what can be replicated in a bottle.
How does changing the speed at which the bottle is spun affect the size or duration of the tornado created inside it?
you spin the bottle fast and stop

The air will rise into the upper bottle in bubbles while the water splatters and drips down into the lower bottle. No vortex is formed.

play spin the bottle play spin the bottle
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
it is a bottle shape
you spin the bottle and it faces her
Spin the bottle is usually done in parties but anywhere is fine.
