"The 'slowly and carefully' part taught me how to be patient in order to see good results. We made a mistake on the first one in which we just poured in the liquid without being careful, everything is just mixed of colors, we didn't see the partitions or the results we wanted to see. We did not get the rainbow effect."
-Matthew Luke
Thanks for sticking with it and trying the experiment again, Matthew! Great job!! :)

She was able to capture Fluffy and Gus breaking free from their egg and now has six new fuzzy little friends!

More Fun With Oil and Water Experiments


Have a peek at what happens when oil and food coloring don't mix!

Which liquids do you think are more or less dense? How do you know?

I could watch this experiment all day, Ethan looks like he could as well! :)
