Colourful but yet disgusting milk

What kind of title was that? Ok hold your horses. Before you start thinking twice about me listen to my story. It was a chilly wet Friday morning and again we were doing the same things. Well, not exactly we were doing a science experiment!
Listen to the magic. Oh and before I forget, as awesome as it might look and seem DONT drink this milk!!!

Equipments:
(items used in process)
1. Milk
2. Shallow bowl
3. Food colouring
4. Dishwashing liquid

And this is what we did:
Pour some milk into a bowl.
Add in different colours of food coloring in different areas.
Get the dishwasher liquid and put in about four drops.

The results:
When the drops were put in the colours started to enlarge and mix. They were also moving in closer to the edges. Sometime it would bubble up and that was an awesome effect.

How?
Well the Dishwashing liquid as we all know has something in it called soap while the milk has fats. I also learnt that they are like enemies trying to avoid one another and when the Dishwashing liquid came to the milk it was just running away from it like a small girl.
And the food coloring? Well it's only job was to make it look more fabulous.
I love science experiments and I can't wait till lovely Miss Davies sets up the next one!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhh... Just imagine!
