Science experiment 1
Walking Rainbow
Can water walk? Let's find out!
What it will look like after about an hour
Get your supplies
Let's do it!
Line up 3 cups. Fill the 2 outside cups with water. Leave the middle cup empty.
Add red to one cup and blue to the other. Stir!
Fold each paper towel into a long strip. Make a bridge from a color cup into the empty cup.
Wait and watch. Check again in 1 hour!
Predict! What will happen?
Look in the middle cup. The water walked up the paper towels and the colors mixed. You made purple!
What's the science?
Paper towels have tiny spaces inside. Water climbs through those spaces, even uphill! When red and blue meet, they mix into a new color.
Grown-ups: try yellow + blue next time to make green.
Science experiment 2
Magic Milk
Make colors swirl and dance!
The colors run away from the soap!
Get your supplies
Let's do it!
Pour a little milk onto the plate.
Add a few drops of different colors in the middle.
Dip your cotton swab in dish soap.
Touch the swab to the middle of the milk. Hold it still and watch!
Predict! What will happen?
The colors zoom away from the soap and swirl into a rainbow!
What's the science?
Milk has a tiny bit of fat in it. The soap chases the fat, and the colors get pushed along for the ride. Try it again in a new spot!
Bonus: lay a paper on top to make a magic milk print!
Keep printing

Talk About Art
Skip "What is it?" These questions get little artists talking:
- "Tell me about your picture."
- "Which colors did you mix?"
- "What part was the most fun?"
- "What would you print next time?"
You did it! Find your badge in your box and wear it proud.
