Science Week 2014

This week, we did an experiment with milk, dish washing liquid and food colouring. What we did, was we put some milk into a bowl, added four different colours of food colouring, got a cotton wool bud that had been dipped in dish washing liquid and placed it into the middle of the bowl. The reaction was, that the food colouring was pushed to the sides of the bowl and started to mix together. We kept our cotton wool bud in the centre for a long time, and it created a flower like pattern. We found, that if you placed the cotton wool bud in different places in the bowl, than it creates spiral patterns. This is an excellent experiment that you can try out at home with just what’s inside your pantry.
