Experiments with water can help us discover several curiosities that science hides. In this way, children will learn some principles of physics while having fun.

In Guiainfantil we encourage you to learn how to make this series of children's experiments. With a few simple steps, you will discover the secrets of water and then show it to your children.

Materials

  • 1 glass cup
  • Coloring
  • Water
Tip: Throw the dye when the water is at rest, so you can see the movement much better.

How the restless molecule is formed, step by step

1. Take a glass of water and fill it with water.

2. Add some dye to mix with the water.

3. Observe how the dye does not stop moving. It is the water molecules that push it to dilute it.

Water molecules are always in motion, although they are very small and we can not see them. Therefore, if we cast dye we can see this movement, since the molecules hit it and move it until it is completely diluted.
