For our first science experiment, we found out how we could make the color of milk change. We started by putting just drops of food coloring in different places around a plate of milk. We put a cotton swab in the middle to see if anything happened. All of the color spots stayed in one spot. Then, we dipped the cotton swab in dish soap and tried again. The colors exploded all over the milk! We found out that dish soap reacts to the fat found in the milk. The chemicals cause the fat to separate. After much discussion, we came to the conclusion that this reaction is why dish soap cleans our dishes so well. We also figured that this is probably why we use different kinds of soaps for different purposes (laundry soap, body soap, etc.)
