Materials:

• Water

• Oil

• Food coloring

• Tall clear glass

• Another cup or glass

• Fork

Instsructions:

• Fill the tall glass almost to the top with room-temperature water. Warm water is ok, too.

• Pour a little oil into the other glass (1 to 2 tablespoons).

• Add a couple of drops of food coloring.

• Briefly stir the oil and food coloring mixed with a fork. You want to break up the food coloring drops into smaller drops, but not thoroughly mix the liquid.

Materials:

Baking soda

Paper

Water

Light bulb (heat source)

Paintbrush or swab

Measuring cup

Purple grape juice (optional)

Instructions:

• Mix equal parts water and baking soda.

• Use a cotton swab, toothpick, or paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution as "ink."

• Allow the ink to dry.

• One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. You can also heat the paper by ironing it. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown.

• Another method is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color. The grape juice acts as a pH indicator that changes color when it reacts with the sodium bicarbonate of baking soda, which is a base.

Notes

• It may take a couple hours so be patient

• The water moves up the paper towels through a process called capillary action

• The gaps in the paper towel act like capillary tubes and which help pull the water upward

• This is what helps water climb from a plant’s roots to the leaves at the top of the plant or tree.
