Connecting with COSI: Milk Fireworks


COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Storm Team 4’s meteorologist Liz McGiffin met up with Valerie Aveni, Director of Onsite Educational Experiences at COSI, to do an experiment called “milk fireworks.”

This is a simple experiment that can be done with milk (higher fat content for better results), food coloring and soap.

You can watch the experiment in the video player above.
