Making Goop????

This experiment required some interesting ingredients.  Liquid starch and glue!! We combined these two ingredients and a chemical change began to occur.  The mixture was at first a liquid and wet and slimy.  The more we mixed the less liquid it became.  Next, we had to kneed the mixture using our hands.  The liquid we began with became a solid!!  How is that possible?

Making Butter

The best part about our new planner is that we get to explore matter.  One way we explored this week is how to change matter.  Is it a physical change or a chemical change?  We put some cream, a little salt and a few marbles in a container and after several minutes of shaking as hard as we could... we had a solid: BUTTER.   Next, we gave it the taste test.  MMMMMM homemade butter what could be better.  And learning about properties of matter and how matter changes at the same time!
