Here’s a fun and safe experiment that kids and parents can enjoy together: Magic Milk Experiment.

Materials:

A shallow dish or plate (a pie plate works well)
Whole milk (enough to cover the bottom of the dish)
Liquid food coloring (multiple colors)
Dish soap (a small amount)
Cotton swabs or toothpicks

Instructions:

Pour enough whole milk into the shallow dish to cover the bottom completely. The layer of milk should be about 1/4 inch deep.

Add several drops of different colors of food coloring to the milk. Space the drops out evenly across the surface. You can use as many colors as you like.

Dip a cotton swab or toothpick into the dish soap. Make sure the end is well-coated with soap.

Gently touch the soap-covered swab or toothpick to the surface of the milk in the center of the dish. Hold it there for a few seconds and watch the colors burst and swirl around in a beautiful, magical display. You can move the swab to different areas for more colorful effects.

Explanation:
The magic milk experiment demonstrates the interaction between the fat molecules in milk and the soap. When the soap touches the milk, it reduces the surface tension and reacts with the fat molecules, causing the colors to spread and swirl. This creates a mesmerizing display of moving colors.

Safety Notes:

This experiment is safe and non-toxic, but it's best to avoid drinking the milk afterward.
Make sure to protect your work surface with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth to prevent any staining from the food coloring.

This experiment is a fantastic way to explore concepts of chemistry and surface tension while creating a visually stunning display. Enjoy the magic!
