Holy cow this is cool! Help kids explore science with this fun-to-make milk science experiment that results in beautifully colored notecards for writing notes! Use this milk science activity to make a beautiful milk craft for preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, and 2nd grade students.
Marbled Note Cards
My daughter looks just like my husband, but her personality and interests are mine all the way. She is always game for anything that has to do with mixing, creating or concocting. One of her newest interest is writing notes. Now that she can sound words out she is always leaving us little notes and giving notes to her friends and teachers. It is so cute and excellent for having keepsakes from her childhood. I decided that we would try something new that combined all of her interests, which is when we came up with using science to create art that she can give and these Marble Notecards Created With Science were made.
Neither one of us was sure if it would turn out, but to my surprise it turned out better than either of us expected! This process is full of science and amazement and the result is gorgeous! We are both proud and excited of how these note cards turned out.
Milk Science Experiment
Gather your materials; they should all be things you have laying around your house!
- Milk
- Food Coloring
- Dish Soap
- Blank Notecards or Cardstock
- Towel
- Plate with a lip
We started with a dinner plate. We used this not only for it’s size but because it has a definite lip on the side to keep the milk in place.
We poured milk onto the plate until it completely filled the center.
Next we put drops of food coloring in random spots around the milk. We used 2-3 colors. We did two different rounds with matching colors. The first was green, blue and teal. The second was yellow, red and orange. I wanted to keep the colors similar because I think if non-matching colors mixed it would just turn brown. If you’re looking for brown colors that would be great, but we wanted bright colors.
Milk Science
The next step is the fun, science part. We put a few drops of dish soap into the center of the plate. The dish soap mixed with the milk created motion which basically stirred the food coloring through the milk. The milk being a thick liquid ensured that the colors didn’t mix too quickly or completely, it created a marble effect with the colors.
We watched the motion for a few moments in amazement and awe. It was a sight to see for sure.
When the movement slowed down we took our blank note cards and pressed them down into the liquid. We made sure all of the note card was covered, or most of it, but didn’t let the cards stay in the milk for too long. I didn’t want the paper to saturate so much that it became weak, just enough to get color on the card.
