Play: Color Explosion

Over here at my (Tiffany) house, things have been in major transition as I have started working full-time (outside the home) and Jake (my awesome hubby) is now a stay-at-home dad (at least for this upcoming year as he takes a break before starting in on doctoral work). I will still be writing for PlayEatGrow, but some of the ideas will be coming from him.

The other day, we made Color Explosions.


Supplies needed:
1. Milk (not skim)
2. Food coloring
3. Q-tips
4. Dishsoap
5. Plate

The Experiment:
Exploring the connection between milk fat and dishsoap.

Check out the how-to video of our science experiment (don't mind my 3 year old's "baby talk" phase, seriously, what's up with that?! :)): 




Afterwards, Ada had fun swirling together the colors.


Need to know the "why"? Check out Steve Spangler's Science Lab for more information.
