Milk and dish soap experiment
Magic Milk Science Experiment
It may be summer, but it’s always a good time for science! Grab the lab coat, safety goggles, and paper towels. Oh, and the kids should probably be there, too. And what is the one thing that can make any science experiment better? If it’s about milk. Below are three fun milk-focused science experiments to test with the kids. Dish soap and food coloring 4. Place the soap soaked cotton bud into the centre of the of the milk dish.
Milk food coloring and dish soap
This easy magic milk science investigation is fantastic fun for kids of all ages. All you need is whole milk, food colouring and a little dish soap to create crazy colour explosions. Older children can use this activity to learn about emulsions. Top 5 Ways to Teach Colors World's Biggest Milk Food Coloring And Dish Soap Experiment!! 
Does the Type of Milk Matter?
As the soap molecules race around to join up with the fat molecules, the fat molecules bend, roll, twist and contort in all directions. As the soap becomes evenly mixed with the milk, the action slows down and eventually stops. This is why milk with a higher fat content produces a better explosion of color: there’s just more fat to combine with all of those soap molecules. Let’s Play As a child my parents would take my brother and I camping in our pop-up camper almost every summer. I remember the smell of the fire, the warmth of my kitty cat sleeping bag, and the taste of marshmallows. As a family we would go swimming, play cards, and go to the movies. These are…
Milk and soap experiment
Find a clean cotton swab for the next part of the experiment. Predict what will happen when you touch the tip of the cotton swab to the center of the milk. It’s important not to stir the mix—just touch it with the tip of the cotton swab. Go ahead and try it. Magic Milk Fireworks The dish soap is a surfactant. Surfactant means “surface-active agent.” These substances have the ability to interrupt the surface tension of liquids. A soap molecule has one end attracted to water molecules and the other end attracted to fat. So, when the soap mixes with the milk, the surface tension of the milk is interrupted and the milk particles move making the milk fireworks!
