* Friday Science *

Today the kids wanted to work on a new science experiment.  We decided to try turning milk into plastic.  We found this science experiment from a pin on Pinterest.  

Supplies needed;  milk, vinegar, measuring cup, measuring spoon, strainer and some paper towels. 

Directions:
1.  Heat milk for 1 1/2 minutes
2.  Stir in 4 table spoons of Vinegar for 1 minute into the milk 
3.  Strain milk
4.  Pat it dry with a paper towel and let it sit out for 24 hours  

Here is Samara pouring the vinegar in to a cup.  

 Sam stirred the vinegar into the milk for one minute.  

This is how the milk looks when you strain it.  The protein and fat from the milk has been separated by the acid in the Vinegar.  

 The last step is to pat the "plastic milk" dry on a paper towel to make sure that there is no liquid left.  

We are curious to see how this will look and feel tomorrow.  You can also add food coloring to it during this step.  I would love to know if you have tried this before or will be trying it out with your kiddos.  Thanks for reading!
