Color Changing Milk ( Explosion of Color)

Summer Science Bucket List

March 31, 2017
This is a really simple and quick science experiment for the kiddos to try.  It's short lived and if they turn their head, they'll miss it!


Supplies




milk
plate
food coloring
q-tip
dish liquid




Fill a plate up with milk. 



Drop food coloring into the center of the milk.  ( Don't disturb it!)


Carefully dip your q-tip into the center.  ( nothing should happen) 

Dip the end of the q-tip into the dish liquid.   



Now watch carefully------ DIP THE Q-TIP in the center of the food coloring drops now and HOLD IT THERE  and watch what happens!  KEEP HOLDING IT and the magic will continue.
 


Move the q-tip to another area and see what happens.   Super cool!






Here's an explanation of the WHY!
