Science Week 2017

To mark Science Week, we invited the Junior Infants to our classroom to do a very exciting experiment with them. We used milk, food colours, liquid soap and cotton buds. We poured milk on to a plate. We used pipettes to add food colours to the milk. We dipped a cotton bud into liquid soap and we put the cotton bud into the milk and food colour mixture. We were amazed to see the colours run in all different directions and make amazing patterns. We explained to the infants that when we added the liquid soap it broke the surface tension on the water and the molocules went in all different directions. What a cool way to mark Science Week 2017.
