Milk Lab Purpose: To observe how different fat contents of milk react to food coloring and dish soap. Hypothesis: If we increase the fat content of the milk then food coloring won’t spread as fast. Materials Red food coloring | 11 ml fat free milk | Blue food coloring | 11 ml 2% milk | Green food coloring | 11 ml whole milk | Petri dish | Dish detergent | 25 ml graduated cylinder | Colored Pencils | Procedure: 1.
