Science experiment:
Surface tension
Start out with a glass dish with milk in it. It doesn't take much. Just to cover the bottom of the dish.
Add several drops of food coloring to the milk. Gently sway the milk to notice that the colors don't really go any where. They don't blend together. Now take 1 drop of dish soap and drop it in the center of the milk.
Immediately the colors spread. Creating a really neat design. Now gently sway the milk now and see how the colors will now blend. Pretty cool!
Cool experiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Joining the Afterschool Party. I love your activity about surface tension and can't wait to try it out with my daugther.
ReplyDeleteFun experiment! I love that you shared a video too, so we can see it in action. Thanks for linking up to the Afterschool Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteoooh thats exciting. I think the science might be a bit beyond my son but i recon he'd love watching what happens anyway
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing this, each one looks so individual.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Science Sunday!
We did it some time ago, and I agree, it's way cool even though the "why" part is beyond a 5 year old's grasp :) Thanks for joining Afterschool!
