It has been a busy, educational, messy, and fun month of ‘spooky Science’! Our final experiment involved mixing milk, food colouring, and then adding a drop of dish soap. We noticed the food colouring ‘spread out’ and ‘was repelled by’ the soap, and it made interesting tie-dye patterns on top of the milk!<\/p>\n

If you want to try this at home (with parent\/guardian permission), you will need:<\/p>\n

-a small bowl or plate<\/p>\n

-milk (whole milk works best)<\/p>\n

-food colouring<\/p>\n

-dish soap<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carefully pour some milk into the bowl. You want layer that is a few millimeters thick.<\/li>\n
  2. Add your food colouring, carefully ‘dropping’ it on top of the milk. Try using different colours.<\/li>\n
  3. Do NOT mix the milk and food colouring!<\/li>\n
  4. Then, dip a q-tip into the dish soap.<\/li>\n
  5. Touch the q-tip to the surface of the milk\/food colouring mixture.<\/li>\n
  6. Watch what happens next!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
