Begin by adding a layer of milk to a plate.
I used a large flat plate but you can use whatever you have at home.
Add a few drops of food colouring to your milk.
Add ONE DROP of dishwashing detergent and watch what happens.
Be sure to be watching because it happens quickly and is very dramatic.
Children can learn a lot from an experiment like this one. It's a great example of cause and effect.
You could also ask children to -
* Write or draw a picture of what is happening as a procedural text
*Under supervision, google why the milk has reacted to the dishwashing detergent
*Experiment what happens if you just use two colours.
What else?
