This is a brilliant science experiment that is sure to amaze children and adults of all ages. Look what happens when you add ONE DROP of dishwashing detergent to a milky mixture.
Begin by adding a layer of milk to a plate.
I used a large flat plate but you can use whatever you have at home.
Add a few drops of food colouring to your milk.
Add ONE DROP of dishwashing detergent and watch what happens.
Be sure to be watching because it happens quickly and is very dramatic.
Children can learn a lot from an experiment like this one.
It’s a great example of cause and effect.
Teachable Moments
Write or draw a picture of what is happening as a procedural text
Under supervision, google why the milk has reacted to the dishwashing detergent
Experiment what happens if you just use two colours
Use other liquids and see if the same thing happens with trial and error
