Food dye under oil
As part of my discussion post this week, I decided to examine the differences, using food coloring, between flowers placed in a cup of water vs. oil/water mix vs. just oil. While setting up, I noticed that in the glass with both water and a lipid (I used canola oil), the food coloring droplets would settle at the top layer of oil. However, once they got right below it and hit the water, they burst open, as you can see, and began to homogenize with the water. The differences in each fluids' density meant that as the food coloring traveled down, it's reaction upon coming into contact with the other liquid changed.
