Supplies

  • Plate

  • Water

Directions

  1. Pour water onto your plate. Try to get the water to reach the edges of the plate before it starts to curve upward, but make sure not to overflow the plate!

  2. Add pepper all over the water on the plate. You can add as much or as little as you want! Try the experiment with different amounts of pepper!

  3. Pour some dish soap into a small container so you can dip your fingers in it easily.

  4. Dip your finger in the soap and touch the water at the center of the plate. Watch as the pepper moves towards the edges!
