Oil and water are always fun things to "play" with during science time. Today, I added paint to the mix to make some fun science art projects.We needed tempra paint, oil, water, a glass cake pan, small bowls and medicine droppers.
Put about a 1/4 cup of oil into a small bowl.
Add quite a bit of tempra paint and mix together. (If you have powered tempra paint this would work even better)
Stir the oil and paint together.
Put water into the cake pan. Using the medicine droppers, drop the paint and oil into the water.

Put water into the cake pan. Using the medicine droppers, drop the paint and oil into the water.We see that the oil and water and paint don't mix. We made wonderful snakes and great blobs.
After getting the colors "just right" I laid a piece of card stock on top of the water and oil and paint.
The results was a very cool design on our papers. Be prepared to repeat this time and again.

On the science front, we learned that oil and water do not mix.

That is very cool. I'm trying to think how I can tie this into anything we are studying right now...... Not at all, but I did get another idea to try sometime.....
Really loved this idea.. nice way to combine a science experiment with an art activity =)surely going to try it with my students! thanks.
