Gracyn did a chemistry experiment today called magic milk. She took some milk and poured it into a pan. Then she added a few drops of four colors of food coloring in the middle. She predicted what would happen if she touched the food coloring with a Qtip. She predicted the colors would mix. She touched the food coloring and nothing happened. Then she added a drop of dishwashing soap to the other side of the Qtip. She predicted that nothing would happen. When she touched the soap to the food coloring in the milk, the colors moved all around and created a very colorful display. She was quite impressed and wanted to do it over and over with different colors in different places. We discussed that the dish soap tries to break down the fat in the milk which causes the colors to move and mix all over the pan.
