Setting Up the Rainbow Science Experiment Supplies Needed: Printable walking water recording sheets (button to download at the bottom of the post) Small plastic cups or glasses Paper towels (*read my tips below for picking the right ones) Food coloring in primary colors Water * The pick. Have fun with this paper towel and food coloring experiment. Soak up color, mix colors and end up with a beautifully colored paper towel square.
These rainbow paper towel experiments are a fun, colorful way to explore science with kids! Whether you're learning about capillary action, absorption, or color mixing, this hands-on project provides a visual, engaging learning experience. In this fun and easy science experiment, we're going to explore and investigate colors by pulling them apart. Materials: Paper towel Green food coloring A glass with one inch of water inside Instructions: Tear the paper towel into a long narrow strip.
Our food coloring and paper towels experiment is a color chromatography science experiment. Watch what happens to the paper towels when put into food coloring. Put a few drops of food coloring in each water-filled glass.
You can choose what colors to use, but don't use the same color twice in a row. Use the spoon to mix the food coloring in each glass. Use a paper towel to wipe off the spoon in between glasses, so you don't transfer the colors.

Learn how to grow a rainbow within minutes by using paper towels, markers, and two cups of water. What is the Walking Water Science Experiment? The walking water science experiment for kids is a simple demonstration of capillary action -the process that allows water to move through materials like paper towels, plants, and even your own body's veins! By using colored water and paper towels, kids will watch in amazement as water "walks" from one cup to another, creating a beautiful.
In today's video, we did a Science Experiment called Walking Water. The objects used are water, food coloring, clear cups, and paper towel sheets. The red, yellow and blue food coloring used in the rainbow paper towel experiment are primary colors.
When two different primary colors come together in an empty cup through capillary action of the paper towel, they mix to create secondary colors.
