We had 4 options of experiments we had to do, we could do one or multiple. I picked the last one it was titled color changing milk and the milk changing wasn't the main subject. it was how soap works.
I have images I took on my phone to describe what happens.
the ingredients are: dish soap, plate, milk, one or more colors of food dye, milk and a cotton swab
step one add milk onto the plate.
step two add one drop of each color in the center if you add to much it is o.k
step three add the soap to the cotton swab.
step four last but definitely not least put the cotton swap where in the center of the milk and if you have it like this just mix a little bit and then dip it in.
all of this is a chemical change because
milk is formed of mostly water but it does contain vitamins, minerals, proteins and tiny droplets of fat. The fat and proteins are super sensitive to changes within the milk and then when the dishwasher detergent is added a chemical change occurs. The soap and fat work flat out to hitch together, which causes the movement. When coloring is added we are ready to witness this chemical change occurring - the colors begin to spread faraway from the dishwasher detergent drop and start mixing and churning the colors.
Hi Charles
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experiment, it was really easy to follow with great detail as well it looks fun. Did you enjoy doing it? Look forward in seeing more on your blog. Keep up the great work.
Miss Rader
thank you.
DeleteHi Charles,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your science experiment and seeing your photos! You were able to explain at the beginning about what you know about physical and chemical change, which is great. I noticed in your conclusion that you thought this experiment was a physical change. It's actually a chemical change. Here is a bit more information for you...
Milk is made up of mostly water but it does contain vitamins, minerals, proteins and small droplets of fat. The fat and proteins are super sensitive to changes in the milk and so when the dishwashing liquid is added a chemical reaction occurs.
The soap and fat work hard to join together, which causes the movement. When food colouring is added we are able to witness this chemical reaction occurring - the colours begin to spread away from the dishwashing liquid drop and begin mixing and churning the colours.
This is why it’s so important that we use soap when we wash our hands! The soap bonds to the dirt and oils on our hands, allowing the water to wash the dirt away.
Next Friday we will continue to explore chemical and physical changes.

thank you for that new info.
DeleteHi Charles.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your informative blog. Science experiments can be great fun can't they? Your info was easy to read and your pictures were helpful.
Thanks for sharing.
