It's an explosion of color! Some very unusual things happen when you mix a little milk, food coloring, and a drop of liquid soap. Use this experiment to amaze your friends and uncover the scientific secrets of soap (stevespanglerscience.com). The purpose of this science project is to cover topics such as mixtures, molecules, and the results of bipolar characteristics in dish soap. This topic also covers changes in physical properties.
In this project, three questions require answers: What will happen when food coloring is dropped in water? The hypothesis for this question is when food coloring is dropped in water, the food coloring will combine with the water without even stirring the mixture. The second question is what will happen when food coloring is dropped in cooking oil? The hypothesis for this question is when food coloring is dropped in oil, the food coloring will sink to the bottom, resulting with no mixture. The final question is which type of milk will result in more color explosion: whole milk, skim milk, or half and half. The hypothesis for this question is whole milk will result in more color explosion.
