Check out our psychedelic color science experiment!
Milk, like all other liquids has a surface tension or property that allows the liquids to stick together. Milk also contains fats and proteins. When dish soap is added to the milk, it lowers the surface tension by reacting with the fats and proteins; which causes the milk to move. The food coloring shows the reaction and the result is the effect of psychedelic color explosions.
Try it at home.
What you will need:
Whole milk
Food coloring
Liquid dish soap
Dinner plate
Cotton swabs
Directions:
1) Pour milk into dinner plate
2) Add food coloring droplets. (Can separate the colors or add all the colors into one spot)
3) Add a drop of liquid dish soap. For different effects, dip cotton swab into soap then dip it into food coloring.
Enjoy and have fun!!
