Surface Tension Experiment

Swirled Milk

 

Materials you will need:

• Food Colouring
• Liquid Dish Soap
• Shallow Pan/Dish
• Whole Milk (Room Temperature)

Steps:

1.  Pour some milk into the pan.  Allow the milk to come to room temperature.
2.  Add a few drops of different coloured food colouring into the pan of milk.
3.  Add a few drops of liquid dish soap into the pan of milk.
4.  Watch to see what happens.

The fat in the milk is broken down by the liquid soap.  This causes the food colouring to swirl and make some really neat designs.
