Entertain yourself: Exploding milk.
Take one large dinner plate, or serving plate. Fill with milk. On opposite sides, put a couple of drops of 2 different colours of food colouring. Red and green are impressive but whatever. Then put a drop of a GOOD quality detergent [ the bulk s/market stuff dosn't work] on top of the colours and watch in awe as the colours explode and make amazing patterns. Dosn't last too long......so gather around !
Hint :
If letting your kids do this, use an eye dropper with the food colouring to avoid the mess !
Cheers. Love to hear how you get on.

I am am a lab technician who worked at the UNI for many years and every year we would have a "kids Day" and we had to come up with a day's worth of entertainment to get them interested in the world of science. Much fun...........and I have many more up my sleeve to entertain kids if anyone is interested. Most just using everyday household stuff. Found mostly the big kids were the most attentive ! The exploding milk is all to do with surface tension........but I don't want to get too technical on this site...........just a bit of fun.
Cheers

Going away for a few days but I will thru my little book and post soon.
In the mean time, has anyone bothered to try the exploding milk !!!
Anyone who is serious about science things for their kids I would be happy to contribute. I need feed back before I expend a lot of time and energy in posting my ideas.
Cheers

Hi Lynne
I tried it with my 7 year old son and 9 year old nephew today. (After my coconut ice and fudge disaster - on the foodlovers forum)! Used red, green and blue in different corners. Although it didn't "explode" as such the colours and patterns were amazing.
Thank you for sharing.

Jude
