How to complete this tutorial step by step?

Materials

To perform the magic milk experiment, you will need:

- a shallow plate and a small dish

- milk

- dish soap

- colored ink

- pipettes

- cotton swabs

Step 1

Pour milk into a shallow dish.

Step 2

Pour some dish soap into a small bowl.

Step 3

Drop a few drops of colored ink onto the surface of the milk using a pipette.

Note : you can also use food coloring.

Step 4

Dip a cotton swab into the dish soap.

Step 5

Place the cotton swab head at the center of the colored spots and observe the "magic" happening before the amazed eyes of the children.

Step 6

What happened?

Milk is actually a liquid composed of water, proteins, and fat. When it comes into contact with dish soap, the water and fat in the milk separate to create a beautiful swirl of colors because the ink, as you may have noticed, does not mix with the milk and stays on the surface.

Note: Without colorant, the chemical reaction would be invisible to the naked eye.
