Galaxy in a Bottle

Galaxy in a Bottle 
Anti-Gravity S.T.E.M. Experiment





2nd grade Quest students made galaxies in a bottle and experienced the awesomeness of what it looks like in our galaxy called, "The Milky Way." This S.T.E.M. experiment took students on a journey that allowed them to see the forces of gravity and how they work with certain liquids. The materials used to make our galaxies in a bottle are the following…..


* Clear bottle with ¼ filled with water
* Baby oil or cooking oil - fill bottle ⅔ full (leave space at top)
* Food coloring (We used dark blue)
* Glitter (That was our favorite part)


Then you are ready to cap your bottle and shake it around to see what happens to the different liquids and glitter inside. We had a blast!!
