Oil water dish soap experiment

What is density? Find out in this easy science investigation. All you need is vegetable oil, water and some small objects.

Very short and easy experiment to explain surface tension to kids. Pour water on a plate, sprinkle glitter on top, dip finger in dish soap and watch the glitter floating away from the finger. Why: water molecules cling toghether and they arrange themselves to create a force/energy called surface tension. Glitter does not mix with […]

The science of density is a simple concept, but there are so many things to learn in this important scientific concept. This classroom-friendly science lesson will show kids the varying density of water, oil, and dish soap suspended in cups of water. Children will have a lot of fun exploring density in this fun hands-on science project. The sink or float science experiment uses balloons, which adds an element of fun for young kids. Tie this lesson into other physical science lessons, or use…

A while back, Just Playin' Around performed an experiment to show the power of dish soap on an oil spill in water. Just about that same time I caught an NPR story entitled, "Why Dawn is the Bird Cleaner of Choice in Oil Spills". As I'm sure was their intention, it got me thinking. Is Dawn really the best dish washing detergent for cleaning the oily feathers of birds affected by the oil spill? I know their advertising, that it's "tough on grease, but gentle on hands/birds", but do they really…

Oil and water do not mix. I’m always reminded of this when I go to wash a measuring cup or spoon that has been used to measure cooking oil for a recipe…it always seems to take a lot more effort, and a lot more soap, to get the measuring device clean again. And while the […]

Oil and water science for preschool and kindergarten.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Oil and water don’t mix”? For this easy science experiment, we observe exactly what does happens when we mix oil and water, then we’ll add another item to the mix to see how it changes! With only a few common kitchen items, kids can explore density and the reaction […]

This super easy salt water experiment is the perfect science activity to teach kids about the density of salt and fresh water. Great for an ocean unit!

Kim McLeod | The Best Ideas for Kids on Instagram: "PEPPER & SOAP 🧼 EXPERIMENT 😮 Follow me @bestideasforkids for more fun ideas for kids 🎨 This simple science experiment is so amazingly cool! 😎 I love that you only need a few things to do it too. Just grab some pepper, water 💦 and dish soap 🧼 How to: Add pepper to a bowl or dish with water. You want a good amount of pepper so you can see it move. Dip a finger or q-tip into dish soap and then dip into the pepper & water. Then…

This week, we did a few more experiments from our Usborne Science in the Kitchen book.They all involved dish soap. First, we put butter on a plate and tried to wash it off with plain water. No luck. Then we mixed in some dish soap and the butter came right off. We talked about the fact that dish soap helps water mix with other substances and makes cleaning things easier. We talked briefly about oily birds, but not much because that kind of thing could freak Crumpet out for years. Then we…
