Simple Science: Black Magic

Black Magic Experiment

This experiment is really fun to observe and super easy for kiddos to set up!  We did the experiment in table groups, but you can choose how to group students based on how many supplies you have to use.  For specific directions on this experiment, visit Learning Lab Resources.

Materials ready!

Draw a line through the middle of the coffee filter.  Make sure it is a NON PERMANENT marker!!  Coffee filter goes in the water! Time to wait and watch!

Wow! Look at the colors come out of the black line!
