Color Changing Milk!

Color changing milk is an explosion of color, but not simply from adding food coloring to milk. One special ingredient, the colors "explode" and can be blended and swirled around a bowl of milk. This is a neat trick that will amaze any child and their friends.

Materials:
- milk (whole or 2%)
- large bowl
- food coloring
- dish soap (Dawn usually works the best)
- cotton swabs

Steps:
1.) Pour enough milk in the bowl to completely cover the bottom to the depth of about 1/4 inch. Allow the milk to settle.
2.) Add one drop of each of the four colors of food coloring - red, yellow, blue, and green - to the milk. Keep the drops close together in the center of the bowlof milk.
3.) Place a drop of liquid dish soap on the end of a cotton swab. Place the soapy end of the cotton swab in the middle of the milk and hold it there for 10 to 15 seconds. Look at that burst of color!
4.) Add another drop of soap to the tip of the cotton swab and try it again. Experiment with placing the cotton swab at different places in the milk.
