Observe what happens and keep a record of how the milk behaves with each type of milk. Try the magic milk experiment with 1%, 2% and whole milk. To read a more detailed explanation of what is taking place during this science investigation, check out this article from Steve Spangler. If you still see movement, there were still some fat molecules on the loose! Press another dish soap covered cotton swab into the milk and see if there are anymore fat molecules that haven’t been found. Normally this process would be invisible to you, but the food coloring helps you to see all of the movement taking place. The soap molecules run around and try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. When the dish soap enters the milk the fat begins to break up. Milk is made up of minerals, proteins and fats. Because I share activities for parents and teachers of young children, I am going to explain this in simple terms.
Liquid food coloring – gel doesn’t work well.To set up the magic milk science experiment, you only need to grab a few supplies.
My four-year-old thought it was amazing and she was fully able to participate in the whole thing. Keep reading and I will show you how simple this is.Īnother thing I love about this science activity is that even preschoolers can participate and enjoy it. You probably already have all of the supplies in your home and it is something you can do again and again. If you are looking for a simple science activity to do with the kids, then look no further! This magic milk science experiment is perfect for you! It amazes the kids every time and it is super easy to do too! Just grab a few household supplies and have a blast with magic milk!Īnytime that a science experiment excites the kids and only takes me a couple of minutes to set up, I feel like a total winner.
