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