During September, we experimented with oil and water in Science. We did an experiment using water, food colouring and cooking oil. The result, as you can see in the photos, is that oil and water DO NOT MIX! No matter how much we tried to mix them, they always separated.
Our Science lesson progressed into an Art lesson using oil paints, white spirits and water. When oil paints are thinned slightly with white spirits, the various colours are dropped onto a tray of water and paper is carefully laid on the surface for a few seconds. The results are beautiful. This is another example of oil floating on top of water. We love our paintings!
