Rain Water Science Project

Does the name “raining blood” scare you? Well, never fear, because it is not a Stephen King movie; in fact, it is a very cool science experiment, including the different measurements of density, or how fast, slow, or accurately two liquids mix. Do you want to engage in a fun and very simple project? If you said yes to my question then hold tight, listen carefully, and follow these simple steps!

In this project, it is all about appearance and curiosity
(and science). The complete model is supposed to show a jar of liquid, with “blood” floating at the tip, or rim, the very top of, the jar. This blood is supposed to drip slowly to the bottom of the jar. The water looks a bit murky, which adds to the disturbing yet intriguing effect of the

You will need a clear jug, but not too small, and a fork. Grab four different food colors. This model with also take water and any oil (except dark or black, nothing hazy or cloudy.) If they are safe to eat, they are safe to use.

First, fill your clear jar with water, preferably cool. Use your small bowl and add oil. Next, add your four colors to your bowl of oil. Mix thoroughly with your fork. The liquids need to make a deep red color, or close to red. Make the colors and oil are settled. Once everything is mixed, carefully pour the contents of the bowl into the jar of water. It make take a few seconds, but the colored oil with float to the top. Give it a little more time; this shouldn’t take a while. If you pay attention, the oil will start to slowly drip from the rim to the bottom of the jar, just like blood.

At the end of my display, we have watched different molecules and properties of densities in action. The raining blood experiment, although sounding a bit intimidating, is very simple and entertaining to witness, if the steps are done correctly. My suggestion is for you to try everything that may seem intimidating or maybe even ridiculous; you may learn something new and
