The walking water science experiment. Watch as water walks from glass to glass creating a rainbow.
Hey Everyone and welcome back to the lab.
In this video we attempt to build a walking water experiment using paper towels!! This is a great experiment to learn about capillary action. You can watch as primary colors mix to form secondary colors, or take the experiment a little farther to create tertiary colors. We used primary colors in this experiment and watched as the glasses mix to create secondary colors.
The water is drawn up through the paper towel by capillary action (which is also called capillary motion or "wicking"). This is the demonstrated by the movement of the water through paper towel against the force of gravity. The water continues to move through the paper towel until all of the glasses reach the same water level.
Give it a try and use different colors to see what type of rainbow you can make.
Make sure to comment below if you tried this experiment. And as always, have FUN!!!
