Kelly Johnson, a junior scientist at The Hormel Institute in the research section of Dr. Rebecca Morris, demonstrates to sixth-graders on Friday a science experiment called “Milk Fireworks” that involves seeing what happens liquid soap is added to a plate of milk containing various colors of food coloring. More than 380 sixth-graders toured The Hormel Institute as part of the Institute’s fifth annual Sixth Graders Day.
