Supplies
Instructions
Step 1 – Add the water to the glass. It should fill only about the bottom 25% of the glass.
Step 2 – Slowly add the oil to the glass. With water and oil together, it should fill about 75% of the glass. Notice the water and oil remain separated.
Step 3 – Add 5-10 drops of food colouring to the glass, depending on how strong you want the colour.
Step 4 – Finally, add 1 Alka-Seltzer tablet to the glass. Watch as the tablet dissolves in the water layer, releasing bubbles that mix with the food colouring and rise through the oil layer.
