Capillary Action - Attempt Two

When we did the first Capillary Action "Walking Water" experiment, we ended up wondering... What would happen if we used four colours?  So we set it up.

First you need 7 empty glasses - preferably the same size (although two of ours aren't).

Put different coloured dye in four of the glasses and then fill them with water to the top.

 Then, get paper towels and twist them.  Place half of the paper towel into the glass with dye and the other half in the empty cup.  After that?  Well, to quote James, "You sit back and watch the MAGIC happen!"

Have a go at home and write in and let us know if you love this experiment as much as we do!!
