Milk and Food Coloring Experiment- It worked!

Here is a simple experiment with household items. I re-tried it with almond milk, I used a very thin layer, and look what happened. My children were amazed!

A few drops of food coloring in the almond milk.

After a dab of dish soap.

Just to have a bit more fun we swirled to see what color it would make. We did this whole experiment over 10 times trying to make new colors.

Materials:
Glass Pan
Milk
Food Coloring
Dish Soap

Directions:
In a glass pan, pour about 1/3 inch of milk. Put a drop of food coloring in each corner. Add dish soap (a small amount) to the middle and watch the convection currents of the food coloring. Can lead to a good discussion on convection currents... And the kids love the colors and adding everything.

Thanks for the great science lesson Teri!!
