Color Milk

The students thought this was a neat experiment.  We poured whole milk into a flat tray, added drops of food coloring, and then added drops of dish soap.  As the drops of soap were added we were able to see how the colors swirl together.  I asked the students why they thought this happened.  They had some responses, but none of them were correct.  So I explained how this worked.  The main job of dish soap is to break down fat.  When the soap is dropped into the milk it tried the break down the fat in the milk.  While it was doing that, the colors scattered and swirled together.  Try this experiment at home and see the colors swirl!

Rock Candy

We did a few science experiments to end the school year.  One of them was making rock candy.  We walked down to the KC Hall to do this because we needed heat.  I reminded the students that sometimes experiments don’t always work and they shouldn’t be disappointed if theirs didn’t turn and others did.  I am really proud of the students as some did turn out and some didn’t, all the students were glad to participate though.  The experiment was sent home with the students so maybe you can try it with your child this summer.
