Fun with Science: Milk, Food Coloring and Dish Soap

[kaebff]

i did this in my science class, but i used half anf half. i also put the soap on the end of a match,and then stuck it in the middle. it worked sooooooo good, and i tried it myself,and it didnt work at all :( what a fail.

[ScytheroX]

To get even BETTER results, pour the food coloring all in one spot.. It looks amazing :)

lol it looks like hippie juice =D

nice video man this was a school project that i had to work on but it didnt work out right because we were told to use non-fat milk but now i saw that it needs to have fat content and it worked out perfectly so thanks

Have you tried this same experiment, only you drop the food coloring closer together, and instead of just dropping the soap in the middle of the plate, you take a q-tip and dip it into the dishsoap and then push the q-tip into the middle of the color "cirlces" and it makes a very cool effect.

@OreoKat133 Thank you! He *is* cute!

[artwithterryann]

Wonderful to watch. I've added it to The Colour of Art ... one of my playlists. Thanks for creating this!

[imagineermatt]

@artwithterryann Thank you for commenting and letting me know you appreciated it!

[xStarAngel]

Can you give me a name of a store that HAS food coloring?(In San Diego)

[imagineermatt]

@xStarAngel Any grocery store will have food coloring. In the baking aisle.

[xStarAngel]

@imagineermatt ok ill try thnks!

[xStarAngel]

@imagineermatt its not going to explode right?(ANSWER ASAP)

[imagineermatt]

@xStarAngel Milk, soap and food coloring won't explode.

[xStarAngel]

@imagineermatt thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!i tried it and it worked awesome! and thank goodness whew

[xStarAngel]

Do you NEED food coloring? (PLEASE ANSWER ASAP MY SCIENCE FAIR IS ALMOST HERE!!)

[imagineermatt]

@xStarAngel You need food coloring in order to see it happen... I don't know how you'd do it without food coloring.

[sophiajmeehleib]

i loved the music in the video

[imagineermatt]

@sophiajmeehleib It's from the soundtrack to the movie Amelie.

[ladev1988]

Try putting the coloring in the center and putting the soap in the center as well

[WuTangghost0007]

that was sweet

[jamielynjoystewart]

um i need a hypothesis and an assumption with my 6th grade project and i want 2 do this so what would the hypothesis be?????????? its really cool

[imagineermatt]

@jamielynjoystewart Why do you think it happens? That's all a hypothesis is.

[KFire]

@jamielynjoystewart Hypothesis: If non-polar detergant dish shop is combined with milk and food colouring then a physical reaction resulting in the dispertion of the food colouring above the surface of the milk should occur.

this is awesome xD

[imagineermatt]

Thanks!

[MissNataliiie]

Ok so I need an experiment for my science class, and its suppose to do with Fluids......

Would this experiment count?

[imagineermatt]

I think it would count. Part of the experiment is about surface tension.

[nejisakufan101]

I Got A High Grade Because of this xDD

[imagineermatt]

Congrats on the high grade! When you become famous/rich, remember that I played a small part...

[nejisakufan101]

haha nice xDD

[wheelofteeth]

Far out man

[imagineermatt]

Right on.

[juril001]

That is so cool. I love this video. Good job.

[imagineermatt]

Thanks! We had fun!

[kayoo718]

you should try using a smaller dish and instead of pouring on the soap, you should put some soap on the edge of a toothpick. :)

[imagineermatt]

Thanks for the tip!

[imagineermatt]

It's happy music for a happy movie!

[stoopitmoose]

Normally I'd say Thats awesome, and it is... but what does it taste like?

[imagineermatt]

It tastes JUST like milk and dish soap. Needs more sugar.

[quillons]

You two are fabulous scientists!!

[crimsong19]

Very cool, Matt!
