Making Stars With Milk

This is just a little experiment we did at school.  While I was doing a search on the internet I saw this on You Tube and loved it.  All it takes is a little milk in a shallow bowl or plate that has an inset.  Add several drops of food coloring to the milk right in the center, and then place a q-tip with dish soap on the tip in the center of the food coloring.  The result is that the colors push out in a star like design. 

Unfortunalty my video camera gave out so this is a brief snip of our experiment.  It is a shame because some to the reactions were priceless.
