Magic Milk – Science Week

Students participated in the magic milk experiment. They hypothesised the reactions between the full cream and skim milk. Many thought the colours would spread for the full cream milk, but not the skim milk. We discovered that both the milks reacted to the soap and the colours danced, however the full fat milk was more effective. We discussed the soap molecules connecting to the fat molecules in the milk, which causes the colour to get pushed around on the plate.
