Milk experiment🌌

As part of science intensive week, Miss. Stone organized a interesting experiment. The step to step process is very easy and if you want to create this experiment read the instructions stated below. I found this experiment very pleasing and surprised at the outcome. 

Chemical Reactions: Cleaning Products

We will be observing the way the chemicals in washing up liquid break down the fat in milk.

Materials:

Milk

Washing up liquid

Food Colouring

Skewers

Process:

1. Tip in a certain amount of milk into a bowl or plate.
2. Add in small drops of different coloured food colouring.
3. Dab a skewer into a cup of dish washing liquid and drop the liquid into the middle of the food colouring.

Observation:

I saw that as the dish washing liquid fell into the mixture of food coloring the food coloring separated.

Explanation:

This happened because… the dish washing liquid cleans dirt and breaks down fat/oil.

Explanation

Science Intensive Week🔬

Today we made a start on our Science Intensive Week at Glenbrae School. For today's Science activities we made Ooblek, experimented on Acids, Milk Experiment, Chocolate piping and we played a quiz on Kahoot.

During these activities I had learnt so much about different science experiments and methods for scientific looking's and projects. It was very fun working with Miss.Stone learning about Atoms and molecules. As well as the three states of matter.

What I learned
I learnt that a matter is everything around us. Something that takes up space in Atoms and molecules. The three states of matter is Liquid(Water), Solid(Brick) and Gas(Helium or Carbon Dioxide).

A solid is something that hold it's shapes, the molecules are tight up. A liquid takes up it's container, the molecules are together but move around. A gas is a air fluid and the molecules are far apart.

Potato Hypothesis!

Today we are doing a experiment checking whether a potato will grow towards the light or normally in a dark box with a hole. I think that potato will not grow at all because I think that the potato will need a lot more light for it to grow.

Scientific Terminology

Today Mrs. Raj did a few scientific experiments. After the experiments, I learned about Condensation, Evaporation, the three states of matter, the water cycle and the three forms of water. These are some of the definitions of the words we learnt about.(definitions from the web)

 Condensation-water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

Evaporation-Evaporation is defined as the process of a liquid changing into a gas. An example of evaporation is water turning into steam.

Water Cycle- the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

The three forms of water
Water- a colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.

Ice-frozen water, a brittle, transparent crystalline solid.

Steam-the vapor into which water is converted when heated, forming a white mist of minute water droplets in the air.

The three states of matter

Solid-firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.

Liquid- a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.

Gaseous- relating to or having the characteristics of a gas.
