  • Dry erase marker

  • Water

Directions

  1. Draw a simple picture on the glass plate or bowl

  2. Pour water onto the plate or into the bowl slowly to lift up the drawing

  3. Swirl the water around to make the picture dance and move

What’s Happening
The marker leaves behind mixture of pigments and a type of alcohol mixed together. The alcohol dissolves and the pigments are left behind as a solid. Glass is so smooth that the solid slides right off when it gets wet!
