Milk and food coloring double as a beautiful activity and a lesson in surface tension.

Materials

Directions

1

Squeeze drops of food coloring into a dish of milk.

2

Squeeze some dish detergent into a small container.

3

Dip a q-tip in the dish detergent, then dip it into the milk. See what happens next!

You can also squeeze the dish detergent directly into the milk and just swirl with a q-tip, if you prefer. Play around with colors and methods to see which produces the most fun results!
