Milk Monstrosity!
-------------------------------------------------------------
With this project, you fill the bottom of a bowl or plate with milk then you pour a few drops of food colouring in; then you take a cotton bud with dishwashing detergent on it and it will cause a chemical reaction!
My class and I continued to learn about science today, and
we have been learning about density.
Density how much substance an object can hold (it's volume) along with the amount of matter in that object (it's mass). To extend our knowledge about density, we were provided with videos that elaborate on what volume and mass is.
After we watched the videos we were set to complete a science experiment using milk which also based around density! This was the milk and food-colouring experiment.
With this project, you fill the bottom of a bowl or plate with milk then you pour a few drops of food colouring in; then you take a cotton bud with dishwashing detergent on it and it will cause a chemical reaction!
In the milk there are 2 main components: water + fat. The fat is much heavier than water so when the food colouring is added in it sits on top of the fat because the water in the colourant is lighter.
During this experiment we would have to take photos, insert them into this copied slide and write about our observations about the reaction.

I really enjoyed this task and I did this one twice, once for the slide and a second time with my younger brothers. They were fascinated at the reaction and I taught them about why it was happening; they enjoyed the task and couldn't stop talking about it to my grandparents!
I hope to do more hands-on science tasks like this one!
