Explore absorption with this colorful art project!
You will need:
thick paper (like card stock)
glue
salt
tray
food colors or liquid water colors
pipette or dropper
Use the glue to draw on the paper. Place the paper inside a tray and sprinkle salt over the glue until it is completely covered.
Use the pipette to drop the coloring onto the paper near the salt. The salt will quickly absorb the color for a brightly colored picture.
Be sure to watch carefully to see the quickly spreading color. What other things absorb liquids?
