Magic? Art? Dancing milk?

Wow! Isn't it amazing?

OMG! What is going on in that plate? Who drew this masterpiece? Well, don't be surprised. This amazing art work is done by a well-known artist, dish soap. Now, let's see how does dish soap create this.

(AKA, dancing milk lab) 

I. Brief info

It's an explosion of color! Some very unusual things happen when we mix a little milk, food coloring, and a drop of liquid soap.

II. Materials

• Milk
• Dinner plate
• Food coloring 
• Dish-washing soap 
• Toothpicks 

III.Procedures

•  Pour certain amount of milk in the dinner plate to completely cover the bottom. 
• Add one drop of each of the four colors of food coloring to the milk. Keep the drops close together in the center of the plate of milk.
• Dip a toothpick into the dish sopa.
• Use the toothpick to place a drop of dish sopa at the center of the plate. Do not stir the mix. 
• Observe and record what happens inside the plate.

IV. Hypothesis

Dish soap is nonpolar that it breaks the bonds between proteins and fats in the milk, and that is the reason why dish soap can draw an amzing artwork in the plate. Food colorings make this rection visible. 

V. Additional info

However, to make sure that dish soap is the real master. Another experiment is demonstrated to prove. 

VI. Procedure for additional experiment 

• Pour water and soy milk in two plates. 
• Add one drop of each of the four colors of food coloring to the milk and the water. Keep the drops close together in the center of the plates.
• Dip a toothpick into the dish sopa.
• Use the toothpick to place a drop of dish sopa at the center of the plate. Do not stir the mix. 
• Observe and record the reaction. 

VII. Expectations

No reactions in the water, and the same result as milk happens in soy milk.

* When testing the result, make sure to repeat the procedures at least three times. If the result remains the same after three times of testing, then draw the conclusion.
