My Daughter's Science Experiment Completed

About a week ago my 6 year old developed a procedure for her own science 'experiment'.  Her procedure was the following.

1.  Mix hot water with cold water.
2.  Add some vinegar.
3.  Add some syrup (the type that goes on pancakes).
4.  Add some salt.
5.  Add some milk.
6.  Add some sugar.
7.  Mix it all together and see what happens.

Here is our pictures of supplies all ready to go.

Then she started mixing things together in the order of her choosing.  She added the sugar to the water first.

Adding the milk is always cool because it spreads out throughout the water in a cloud.

Food coloring gives it a nice colorful 'glow'!  

Then add some baking soda which is cool to watch as it mixes with the liquid.  Add a few more drops of food coloring and you get a nice swirl pattern.

There you go.  That's my daughter's science experiment.  I let her do everything in the order that she wanted.  I was careful not to let her mix vinegar and baking soda since that creates a reaction that can make a mess if you're not careful.  It was really neat watching her excitement as she got to decide what to do and in what order.  It was very cool watching her think through what to do next and asking her why she was doing the steps in this particular order.  Give it a try in your home!
