Milk Food Coloring Experiment

Christmas Science

All you need to try this quick and easy Christmas Science activity with your kiddos are a few simple materials you probably already have on hand:

  • Milk
  • Food Coloring (Christmas Red, dark green, neon green)
  • Dish Soap
  • Optional: Christmas Sprinkles 
  • Plate or Shallow Bowl
  • Toothpick or butter knife

Christmas Science Experiment

Pour the milk onto the plate. You don’t need too much, just enough to cover the bottom of the plate.

Next, drop in the food coloring. A few drops of green and a few drops of red in various places. Completely random, but spaced out from each other.

You can swirl the colors with a toothpick or butter knife. Not too much but just to move the color more around the plate. But don’t mix it in with the milk.

When you’re ready, add a couple drops of dish soap. You will instantly see the colors swirl around the milk. It is like the colors turned into ballroom dancers, just floating on the milk.

This milk and dish soap experiment was explained to me like cleaning up butter. The dish soap helps cut the fat and grease. The dish soap does the same type of thing with the fat of the milk. It separates the two liquids and makes the colors dance! 

When dish soap is dropped into milk, there is a swirl of activity of soap molecules finding and bonding with fat molecules in the milk. With millions of molecules swirling around looking for mates, the colors in the milk get all mixed up! It looks like the milk is erupting for several seconds.
