How to do it
|
- Line up five glasses and add 1 tablespoon about 15 g of sugar to the first glass, 2 tbs of sugar to the second glass, 3 tbs of sugar to the third glass, and 4 tbs of sugar to the fourth glass.
- Let the fifth glass remain empty.
- Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water to each of the first 4 glasses. Stir each solution till the sugar dissolves fully.
- If the sugar does not dissolve in any of the four glasses, then add one more tablespoon of water to each of the four glasses.
- Add 2-3 s of red food coloring to the first glass, yellow food coloring to the second glass, green food coloring to the third glass, and blue food coloring to the fourth glass.
- Stir each solution to dissolve the color fully.
- Now you can make a rainbow colours along with your child using the different density solutions.
- Fill the last glass about one-fourth full of the blue sugar solution.
- Now, more carefully layer some green sugar solution above the blue liquid. Do this by placing a spoon in the glass, just above the blue layer, and pouring the green solution slowly over the back of the spoon.
- If this is done right,it will not disturb the blue solution. Add green solution until the glass is about half full.
- Now layer the yellow solution above the green liquid, using the back of the spoon. Fill the glass to three-quarters full.
- At last, layer the red solution above the yellow liquid. Fill the glass the rest of the way.
