Middle School Biology Department：Grades 5、6 Science Inquiry in Lab — Encountering Cool Chemistry

In the fourth meeting of the Grade 5～6 Science Inquiry in Lab, students met experts from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The experts did two fascinating experiments with the students. In the first experiment, students mixed various liquids to form a color changing iodine solution! For the second experiment, students were advised to pour milk into flat disks. Then, various types of food coloring were dropped into the milk. Finally, they put detergent on a cotton swab, dipped it into the milk, and voila! The food color spread out and mixed together, forming amazing colors and patterns. Everyone had fun and learned a lot!
