Keep reading for how you and your little scientist can use household ingredients to pour a rainbow into any old jar!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For this experiment, you will need the following materials:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clear jar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Honey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Light corn syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blue dish soap<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Olive oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rubbing alcohol<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Food coloring<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dropper<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before starting the experiment, explain to your child the concept of density so they understand what is about to happen. Tell your child everything is made up of molecules; some liquids in the experiment have lots of molecules and others have only a few. The ones with more molecules are heavier and will stay towards the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start your experiment by having your preschooler pour the honey into the jar, being careful not to let it touch the sides. Next, use food coloring to turn the corn syrup purple before pouring in on top of the honey, again being careful not to let it touch the sides. Follow with dish soap, water colored green with food coloring, and a thick layer of olive oil. Finally, use the red food coloring to color the rubbing alcohol, before using a dropper to drop the alcohol along the side of the jar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You want to be careful not to break through the layer of oil while you do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have added the rubbing alcohol, your experiment is done! To admire it, hold it up to the light or move it to a windowsill very carefully without shaking it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try this impressive science experiment the next time you have a free afternoon with your preschooler, we promise you will love how easy it is, and they will love the cool end product!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed these tips, you\u2019ll want to check out our previous blog on <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/tomball\/2019\/09\/28\/halloween-parties-for-preschoolers\/\">Halloween Parties for Preschoolers!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkids21tx.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Tomball<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Tomball, Texas?
