Addison!

Experiment:  Magic Milk

Objective:  To find out if milk reacts to dishwashing soap.

Addison had all her materials ready to go..lab coat and goggles, too!

Her materials were:  milk, dinner plate, food coloring, dish washing soap, and Q-tips.

First, Addison poured dishwashing soap in a small cup.

Next, her assistant, Dad, poured milk onto the dinner plate.

Then they added food coloring.

First red...

then blue…

then green…

and last yellow.

After adding the food coloring, Addison dipped her Q-tip in the cup of dishwashing soap...

…and placed it in the milk.

Look how the colors reacted to the dish soap!

The moved away from where she placed the Q-tip!

Conclusion:  The chemicals in the dish soap cause a reaction of the food colors when mixed with the fat and protein content of the milk.

Super job, Addison!  What great experiment and pretty creation!  Thank you for sharing this with us!
