Use our easy Magic Milk Science Lab Kit to grab your students’ attention without the stress of planning! Detailed Magic Rainbow Milk Science Experiment Step by Step Instructions How Does the Science Experiment Work Metzinger, followed closely by Delaunay—the two often painting together in 1906 and 1907—would develop a new sub-style of Neo-Impressionism that had great significance shortly thereafter within the context of their Cubist works. Piet Mondrian developed a similar mosaic-like Divisionist technique circa 1909. The Futurists later (1909–1916) would incorporate the style, under the influence of Gino Severini's Parisian works (from 1907 onward), into their dynamic paintings and sculpture. Influenced by: Paul Gauguin , Henri Rousseau , Georges Seurat , Pablo Picasso , Claude Monet , Pont-Aven School

Pour the oil into the jar of water. Watch as the oil stays on top of the water and the dots of color slowly start dropping down into the water. As they fall into the water, the color dots will “explode” and begin mixing into the water! *Tip: holding the jar up to light can make it easier to see the explosions. Also, lightly swirling the jar can help the colors to drop and burst in the water faster. Science ConceptsIn the prime of his career he painted a number of series that included: the Saint-Sévrin series (1909–10); the City series (1909–11); the Eiffel Tower series (1909–12); the City of Paris series (1911–12); the Window series (1912–14); the Cardiff Team series (1913); the Circular Forms series (1913); and The First Disk (1913). Robert Herbert writes: "Metzinger's Neo-Impressionist period was somewhat longer than that of his close friend Delaunay... The height of his Neo-Impressionist work was in 1906 and 1907, when he and Delaunay did portraits of each other (Art market, London, and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) in prominent rectangles of pigment. (In the sky of Coucher de soleil no. 1, 1906–07, Collection Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller, is the solar disk which Delaunay was later to make into a personal emblem)." Herbert describes the vibrating image of the sun in Metzinger's painting, and so too of Delaunay's Paysage au disque (1906–07), as "an homage to the decomposition of spectral light that lay at the heart of Neo-Impressionist color theory..."

Tip: Be sure to use either Whole or 2% Milk In a small dish, mix oil with 3 drops of each food coloring. Stir them up. The colors will not mix in the oil, but stirring helps to mix them around and separate them!

Try this experiment again using milk with different fat percentages. Try it with skim milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, whole milk, half and half, and cream. Consider even trying evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. See how the amount of fat affects the explosion of color! Did you know that it is easy to turn ordinary milk into a rainbow of crazy colors? With only four common kitchen items, kids are thrilled by the color explosion created by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules in our magic ingredient! Delaunay formed a close friendship at this time with Jean Metzinger, with whom he shared an exhibition at a gallery run by Berthe Weill early in 1907. The two of them were singled out by the art critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1907 as Divisionists who used large, mosaic-like 'cubes' to construct small but highly symbolic compositions. I did this in my science class and it worked really well! I looked at a lot of science experiments but couldn’t find

The moral of the story is, yes, preschool science experiments can and SHOULD be simple, fun, and may only take a minute or two. And, that’s ok! Children at this age thrive on play, creativity, and shouldn’t be expected to hold attention for longer than a few minutes at a time anyway.
