Simple Science: Rainbow Oil and Water

Rainbow Oil and Water Experiment

Here's another way to play with rainbow colors this March!   Kiddos will love watching this colorful experiment and be excited to see what happens when oil is added to water!  Find more about this experiment here!

 Materials ready!  Using baby oil, which is clear, makes the colored water look more vibrant when dropped in!

The colored water is a set!

Ready to start dropping in the colored water!  We're using 2 different types of droppers!

We love these BIG droppers from Learning Resources!

You can grab them here on Amazon! (affiliate link)

But we also thought we'd try smaller droppers or pipettes too!

Dropping the water in!  Look how it makes little beads in the water!

And a fun look from above the cup of oil.
