Try some cool (and easy) milk art that will fascinate your children - and maybe even you!
You will need:
A wide bowl
About a ½ cup of milk
Dish soap
Cotton swab or pipette
Food Coloring
Directions:
1. Pour the milk into the bowl.
2. Put one drop of each color in the milk.
3. Put just a tiny amount of soap with your cotton swap or pipette (or very carefully with the bottle) into the colors.
4. Let the experimenting begin!
Why does this happen?
The movement of colours is due to the fat content in the milk being more dense than the food coloring. The food coloring ends up floating on top of the milk. When the dish soap is added it breaks up the fat. As the fat molecules expand and move around they cause the milk to move which then cause the food colouring to leave interesting amazing art!
