Mixing Milk Experiment

The other day my 6 year old was excited to show me a science experiment that SHE came up with.  She called it the mixing milk experiment.  It's a very simple experiment that involves milk and water.

First, fill up a small bowl with water.  Next, drop a quarter of a cup or so of milk into the water.  The milk will quickly mix with the water, but what's cool is that it looks like a cloud advancing through the water.



Ok, so this wasn't an extremely exciting experiment, it's one that my daughter came up with by herself without my assistance.  Therefore, in the end, it is exciting because she's using her own skills to conceive of questions and answer them.  All parents should encourage their kids to do just this.
