The Science Corner: How to Make Plastic Milk
In the Science Corner today, we are going to teach you how to make hard, plastic milk! This experiment will take a few days to complete - so patience is key, and requires adult help! Make sure to get an adult to help you through this experiment because there are parts which require the use of a stove. Now, without further ado…
Ingredients
One cup of milk
4 teaspoons of white vinegar
A bowl
A strainer
Adult help
Instructions
Ask your friendly adult to heat up the milk until it is hot, but not boiling
Now ask the adult to carefully pour the milk into the bowl
Add the vinegar to the milk and stir it up with a spoon for about a minute
Now the fun part, pour the milk through the strainer into the sink – careful it may be hot!
Left behind in the strainer is a mass of lumpy blobs.
When it is cool enough, you can rinse the blobs off in water while you press them together .
Now just mold it into a shape and it will harden in a few days. – Cool!
