Introduction

            The purpose of this experiment is to find out what happens to the surface tension of milk with food coloring, when two different dishwashing soaps are added. The milk that is being used is 1% low fat. The first dish soap being used is AJax with lemon. The second one is Dawn Plus with fresh orange.

            My hypothesis for this experiment is that the Dawn dish soap will make the food coloring in the milk erupt more than the AJax dish soap will. I got my experiment idea from Steve Spangler the Science Guy at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com. I think this is interesting because you really don’t know how soap affects surface tension of milk unless food coloring is added. Also, I thought it was interesting because there are many different kinds of soaps and to see which one would affect the milk more. When I started the project I hoped to achieve to find which soap affected the milk more.
