The Big Milk Experiment
What you need:
• Plastic plate
• Meadow Fresh full fat milk
• Food colouring (you should have four different colours)
• Cotton buds
• Detergent or dishwashing liquid
What you do:
Pour the milk into the plate so that it is about 5mm deep.
Add a few drops of each food colour around the centre of the plate.
Dip a cotton bud into the detergent, then dip it into the milk at the centre of the plate and watch what happens!
Now it is your turn to investigate. Think about things that you could change in the experiment.
How does that affect the results? Think of some questions that you can explore…you can use the question starters “What would happen if..?” or “Does it matter if..?”
