Milk Experiment!

Today Mrs. Potter's small group experimented with milk, food coloring, and dish soap. Before the experiment, the group talked about their hypothesis by asking the children what they thought would happen when the soap mixed in with the milk and food coloring. "The milk will explode!" exclaimed Alex. His peers agreed: "Yeah, it will all be fast at exploding," added Dominic.

The children started the experiment by pouring milk into a plate.

Next they added drops of food coloring.

The children dipped a cotton swab into dish soap, then placed the cotton swab into the milk. 

The dish soap reacted with the milk, causing the milk and food coloring to disperse. 

It made colorful, unique designs!
