Science fair project - Magic Milk Painting
Watch in amazement as colors come to life and dance around like magic on the surface of milk with just a drop of soap. This colorful experiment is a delight to see!

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that adding soap to the milk will cause the colors to move around in interesting patterns.

Results

The soap makes the colors move in ways you never expected! Even though the colors start out mixed together, they soon burst apart in a beautiful swirl!

Why do this project?

This science project is a fun way to learn how different molecules interact to make colors move in unexpected ways.

Also Consider

Try using different types of milk, such as skim milk or half & half, to see if the results are different. You can also try different types of soap to see how they affect the movement of colors.
