Milk Color Explosion! OPTIONAL BONUS Assignment Intermolecular Forces and Surface Tension The Soap and Milk experiment is a fun and simple way to demonstrate the existence of intermolecular forces and the properties of soaps. It's exciting, visual, and meant to be shared. This idea was originally shared with me by a former IntroChem student in who sent me a YouTube link about a year after she had finished the class! The equipment for the experiment is simple and can be found in most kitchens. • Dinner plate • Milk – 2% or whole (no skim!) • Dish Soap Solution – Dawn works well • Food Coloring • Cotton Swabs Details of the procedure and a short explanation of the chemistry can be found at: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/milk-color-explosion

Requirements for the Assignment are: 1. Conduct the Experiment and take a photo of your Color Explosion! • Submit your photo to the “MilkColorExplosion” Dropbox. When submitting photos – a jpeg image is preferred. There is no reason to imbed the files in MS WORD. If you have multiple photos, that’s fine. Just upload each as an individual file. • This is worth 2 LC BONUS points. • Try to obtain a high quality artistic photo. If we have enough good submissions – there will be a followup Photo Contest! 2. (OPTIONAL). SHARE YOUR LOVE OF CHEMISTRY! Involve at least one other person who is not taking Intro to Chemistry or a member of your Family in your project. • Kids are preferred, but if you can get some adults excited about chemistry, that's great too! • Document their excitement with a photo. They can try to fake the excitement, but sincerity does come across on film pretty well. It might be worth involving more than just one Family member and choosing the one that best represents true "Chemistry Excitement". • Submit your photo to the “MilkColorExplosion” Dropbox • This is worth an additional 1 LC BONUS point....
