Making Butter

Yesterday we made butter out of double cream. We put double cream into a jar and shook it until yellow lumps were formed. Then we spread the butter on bread and enjoyed it. I learnt a new word called 'Emulsion'. Emulsion is when the fat particles and the water or liquid is separated. I had lots of fun doing this experiment.

Elephant Toothpaste Chemical Reseach

This is my Elephant Toothpaste chemical research. I researched about the chemicals used in the Elephant Toothpaste experiment. I found a lot of interesting facts about the chemicals used.

Science Planning House - Observing Milk

Today I did a Science Planning House. We needed to observe the surface tention of milk. We needed to put 4 drops of food colouring on a bowl of milk. Then we put two drops of dishwashing liquid in the center of the bowl of milk. The dishwashing liquid broke the surface tention which made the food colouring sink to the bottom of the bowl of milk.

This is a screen shot of my Science Plan House. We did an experiment if we could make plastic out of milk. My group didn't get the expected results but I think we could have added more quantity of an ingredient. I had fun doing this experiment even though it didn't work.
