Elaine Lawson, Reporter Friday I brought two milk bottles and some red food coloring color-ing to school. I filled one with hot water and one with cold. I covered the mouth of the bottle of cold water with wax paper and put it up-side-down on top of the bottle of hot water. I pulled out the wax paper, and we saw the hot water come up into the cold.
