Color Blast

Question: What will happen when you mix dish soap with milk and food coloring?

Hypothesis: We think that by combining dish soap with milk and food coloring it will spread out and make a rainbow of colors.

Materials: 

- dish soap
- milk
- plates
- food coloring
- Q-tips

---

Safety Procedures:
We do not ask for much, just 2 simple rules so everyone has a safe and enjoyable time!
 - Please do not put anything in your mouth, we do not have eating or  test tasting  involved!
 - Please do not wreck any materials, for we want everyone to have the same amount of fun as you did!

All kids will have an opportunity to participate in the experiment.

Procedure:

        
  - First, pour the milk in the plate, make sure that it covers the base of the plate.
  - Next, take some different color food coloring and pour 2 drops per color.
  - After take a Q-tip and dip it in your soap.
  - Lastly, with the soap on the Q-tip press it in the middle of the plate.
 Then you will find you conclusion!


Special Needs:
Preferably near a sink

<feel free to add pictures, videos, etc>

The Science behind it:
 
 The reason the conclusion is what it is, is because of surface tension. The milk and food coloring have surface tension. The dish soap brakes up the surface tension and makes it burst out!
Question: What Is Surface Tension?
 Answer: The tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk or the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.    

Later on you can Add Graphs with results

Conclusions

From this experiment, we learned that the soap will break up the surface tension of the milk, causing the .
