Summer Learning Journey Activity 1 ( Cool Experiment)!!!!!!

 Hey Bloggers,

Today I did an experiment. I took a brief video to show you guys how  the experiment went. Now I will take you through the method and I have also included the materials you need for this awesome experiment. 

Materials:

• Combinations of different food coloring ( I only had 2 colors)
• Cold tap water
• Oil
• spoon
• 2 cups

Method:

1.  Fill up one of your glasses with cold tap water just about 5 cm below the top of your cup
2.  Then get your 2nd cup and fill a quarter of it with oil ( I was using canola oil)
3. Get different color combinations of food coloring and put a few drops of each color into the cup with oil
4. Mix the oil and the food coloring for about 30 seconds using your spoon
5. Pour the oil and food coloring mixture into the glass of water
6. Watch the magic happen

Something I discovered today was that this experiment actually worked. I was amazed at how the colors were shooting out of the oil into the water creating an artistic illusion. I enjoyed the fact that I was able to do this all by myself with no adult help or supervision. The thing I found tricky about this experiment was that number one I over mixed it because I was not sure how long it was supposed to be mixed for and I used very cold water from the fridge which caused it to not work so I think tap water works best.

Make sure you wear gloves to avoid getting food coloring on your hands. I learnt the hard way so I guess you guys can learn from my mistake.

Have a go and let me know how it went in the comment section below. 

Bye for now (._.)!!!!
