Mrs. Shannon Giles gave her 7th grade science students a challenge.  Their assignment was to see what happened to milk when dish soap was added.

She said, “Milk is made up of minerals, proteins, and fats. Proteins and fats are susceptible to changes. When the dish soap is added to the milk, those molecules run around and try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk.

You wouldn’t see this without the food coloring! The food coloring looks like fireworks because it’s getting bumped around!

The soap heads for the fats creating the cool bursting of color. When there is no more movement, all the fat molecules have been found. Are there any more hiding?”

The classes had some incredible work to show!
