Science & Art for Kids: Marbled Milk Paper. One of the most popular posts here on Babble Dabble Do has been Milk Painting and I can see why, the process makes really wild and beautiful designs.
When I originally brought milk painting to school as a science project my friend Theresa suggested dipping paper in the milk to see if we could transfer the design and preserve it. We tried with a few sheets of paper and it worked to some degree. Action Art: Spin Art Using a Bike. Wanna make a mess?
As in a good old fashioned, wacky, hard-to-resist, process, action art mess? Then it’s time to try our new favorite art supply: a bike. A what? Yup, a bike.

Please see our disclosure policy. Rainbows are one of the most beautiful natural wonders. They are created in the sky when just the right combination of rain and sunshine mix. Sunlight is reflected off of raindrops in the air, making the light we usually think of as “white” split into a gorgeous array of different colors. In this science activity the kids are going to create rainbows on paper that can be enjoyed year-round, rain or shine. If you love this activity you need to check out 100 Science Activities, the book that has inspired rainbow paper, witches’ brew, and many other activities from our Five Minute Science series! Teach Them To Fly: Dancing Colors. Today we made colors dance!
We did a fun science experiment with milk, food coloring, and dawn soap that brought our colors to life. The activity was not only fun but also reinforced our counting skills, color identification skills, ability to make predictions, and follow directions. We used whole milk, neon (because nothing is better than some neon!)

Learn How to Make a Rainbow at Home - Kids Science Experiments. Light Refraction Activities for Kids. By Rebecca Cartwright Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images Light rays travel at different speeds through different substances.
When light moves from one material to another, the change in speed as it slows down or speeds up causes the light rays to bend. This bending is called refraction. Some substances, such as water or certain shapes of glass, can bend light rays so that the white light we normally see is separated into the colors of the rainbow. Water Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images The way objects look when in water or viewed through water is an illustration of light refraction. Place parallel lines several inches long on a flat surface.

"Ice Tunnels" combine ordinary salt, ice and Colorations® Liquid Watercolor in an unforgettable art and science experiment that costs only pennies. Try this on sunny day with lots of bright sunlight and you'll experience amazing color, light refraction and salt crystallization with the ultimate "hands-on" experience for children of all ages. To make "Ice Tunnels," fill up a variety of plain plastic containers with water and freeze overnight. Dump the ice onto an art tray or sand & water table, and follow the simple directions attached below from Smart Art 2. Use ordinary table salt or experiment and find different results from using "Ice Cream Salt" which is sold in most grocery stores next to the table salt. Get the printable instructions here!

Why Are Sunsets Red Orange? Science Experiment. Since our popular experiment “Why is the sky blue?”
, many have been asking, “Why are sunsets red / orange in color?” I’m so glad these people have asked such an excellent question, like all good scientists do! So I came up with another experiment, but I wasn’t sure if it would succeed in demonstrating how the sky would turn from blue to red / orange. My daughter had much more confidence in me than I did and kept urging me to try it.
