How to make Walking water science experiment

This easy colourful science experiment can be done with simple items you have in your kitchen right now!

You will need:
2 x paper towels
3 x glasses
blue food colouring
yellow food colouring

Place the three glasses side by side. Starting on the left hand side, fill that glass with water. Squirt a generous amount of blue food colouring into the water.

Leave the next glass empty.

Now fill the glass on the far right hand side with water and add a generous amount of yellow food colouring.

Fold a paper towel in half lengthways and again so that it will fit into the neck of your glass easily. Now place one end of the paper towel into the blue water and bend the paper towel over the edge of the glass so that the other end sits in the empty glass in the middle.

Do the same on the other side: place one end of a paper towel into the yellow water, and bend it over so that the other end rests in the empty glass in the middle.

Watch and wait.

In about 30 minutes or so, the water will START 'walking' up the paper towels and over into the middle glass.

After about two hours you will have a mix of the two colours in the centre glass.

Hints and tips:

Choose two primary colours that will mix to make a secondary colour. E.g. red and yellow to make orange or blue and red to make purple.
