DadE the Science Guy!

Quick...lock up your cupboards!  Just kidding...well, sort of.  Even though DadE is very tired on his current schedule (nights, days, etc.) he is still a lot of fun! 
It was fun to make layers of corn syrup, oil, rubbing alcohol, water...with food coloring for added fun factor.
We are working on independent pouring...
Check out the strata!
Stir...stir...emulsify!
STAND BACK...don't worry...it just looks like that in the picture.  I told him that anything that created fumes or exploded had to be done outside.
Next, they dropped things into the layers to see where they'd end up...er, floating.
And again...anything was fair game...There were almonds, pistachios, pennies, dimes, chips...sigh
Shake it...shake it!!!
It takes how long to separate back out!?
Woooooooo!
Hey Caleb, If you drop it from up high it splashes ick everywhere! 
This was the "test" glass....for some reason the layers didn't do the same thing.  This is a scientific mystery that will bother Loverbrains for some time to come.  HA!  Looks cool though!

maybe the test glasses didn't work because their was a build up of liquid dish soap? A lot of brands, "cut" through the grease/oil and I think that would mess things up.-g
