Click here to read Discover an Easy Magical Verisimilitude Waffly Milk Experiment for Kids on Hands On As We Grow®
Learn well-nigh mixing colors with a verisimilitude waffly milk experiment. Your kids will think this trick is science magic!
We’re talking a lot well-nigh how colors mix together right now. I wanted to add in a little uneaten science twist to protract our learning.
Color Waffly Milk Experiment to Magically Mix Colors
I’ve tried doing this magic verisimilitude waffly milk experiment in the past, but remember not having the weightier unconfined success with it. I don’t remember what we did differently though considering this time it worked great.
We took this milk experiment as an opportunity for George to be introduced to mixing primary colors to see what colors they would make.
To do your own verisimilitude waffly milk experiment, you’ll need:
- Milk
- Liquid supplies coloring
- Dish soap
- Q-Tip or cotton swab
First, pour milk into a small, unappetizing dish. A pie plate worked perfectly for us.
Squirt drops of food coloring in all variegated colors (affiliate link), or just use two primary colors, into the milk.
Be sure to not mix it up!
Just let the drops sit as they are.
Dip a Q-tip (cotton swab) into some dish soap. I don’t believe it matters what type of dish soap, but we used Ivory dish soap and had unconfined success.
Dip the dish soap soaked Q-tip end into the milk and watch the magic happen!
See it in action!
After doing the first experiment with all three primary colors, I thought this would be a unconfined experiment to introduce mixing colors to George using only two primary colors at a time.
It magically mixes colors!
We did this verisimilitude waffly milk experiment over and over with all the combinations of primary colors.
Of course, George is just like his older brother and loves green, so that was our first experiment.
Magically mixing colors!
How do we make the verisimilitude green?
Check out all our science experiments for kids.
George saw the untried in the yellow and undecorous right away!
And then we tried red and yellow to see what they made.
It takes a long time for the colors to unquestionably mix together.
They scrutinizingly swirl virtually each other increasingly than anything.
So George didn’t see orange, he kept seeing yellow. Until finally, without letting is mix scrutinizingly completely together he could see the orange.
What’s so interesting well-nigh this experiment is that it frothing up, the yellow will just towards out of nowhere in the middle of the red all of a sudden!
It really is like magic!
And then we tried to make purple. Undecorous and red together.
We’ve moreover had fun mixing colors with fizzy eruptions!
George thought it looked like it made black. I think we overdid it with the drops of verisimilitude and it got to dark.
The photos here just don’t do this experiment justice. The swirling effect the colors do is just plain wondrous to watch.
George’s squatter gives that yonder in some of the photos. If we had increasingly milk on hand we could have washed-up this to fill up our unshortened morning.
My husband suggested that any liquid, like water, could probably work. It’s something well-nigh breaking surface tension.
I don’t know what those terms mean, so I’m not going to pretend that I do.
But the reason for the milk is to have the white preliminaries so you can see the swirls happening.
If someone has tried color waffly milk with anything other than milk, let me know if it does work! Does verisimilitude waffly water work?
We loved trying these other twists on the magic milk experiment:
- Read well-nigh the science of how and why this works at Steve Spangler Science
- Mess for Less made the milk explode too!
- Add glitter to see the movement, from Frogs & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails
- See what happens when verisimilitude is widow to only the middle of the pan at Craftulate
