I used a heart-shaped hole punch and aluminum foil to make the big pieces. I bet even circles would be fun.

Oil and glitter
Added: 2017-03-27 by another contributor
Use a creased paper as a funnel to get the glitter into bottle opening. You can see I only added oil less than halfway since it's the expensive part. Notice even the big pieces of glitter are floating. Buoyancy is a major consideration for boats and rubber duckies!

Colored water
Added: 2017-03-27 by another contributor
Just a couple drops. You can let your students watch the drops swirl and mix even without stirring for a few minutes to talk about currents. Even mix a couple colors together.

It doesn't have to be pounded into a powder and some different sizes will make the reaction last longer and have different punches.

Gently pour colored water into oil

Notice the tilt...like beer into a glass AND the sink.

Final pour

Notice the colored water is sliding down beneath the oil. The two will not mix entirely, like most salad dressings.

Tablet added and is dissolving

Most of the churning is due to the gases being created (CO2) and just mixing everything up.

Finished and quiet

The chemical reaction from the tablet is almost finished, but there is still the lesson for oil and water not mixing available. Have your students shake it up occasionally and see if it separates out.
