Bring the fireworks home for a colorful celebration you make yourself! Learn how to do this experiment below 👇
💥What you need:
Food coloring
Vegetable oil
Water
💥How to make silent fireworks:
Fill a large vase with water.
Pour a layer of oil on top of the water.
Drip food coloring onto the oil and watch the show begin!
💥What’s going on?
Food coloring is mostly water, and water is denser than oil. The oil floats on top, while the droplets slowly sink and burst into the water below. The falling droplets create colorful currents that mix and join together in swirls beneath the still surface, making them look just like fireworks!
