Kitchen Science

Kitchen science
In Alison Kiawhina for inquiry this term we have been looking at kitchen science with Kathy.
I found all the experiments really fun and enjoyable to watch the combinations to do a chemical reaction or a physical reaction. I had some favorites for this inquiry and they were turning milk to stone and Elephants tooth pastes. I liked elephant's toothpaste because I never knew that if you put yeast and water into detergent, Hydrogen peroxide and food coloring that it would cause a chemical reaction and explode. I liked Milk to stone because it was so epic seeing the milk and vinegar separate into liquid and solid. After 42 hours it was too hard to break with bare hands. While doing the experiments I learnt that in solids the tiny Molecules Are packed tightly to make the object packed firmly, In liquids the Molecules are packed lose enough so they can move around a tiny bit and the liquid fits into the shape it is in and for gas the Molecules are packed so they have a lot of room to move around. It was so amazing to learn that the whole world is made of the exact same thing called Matter. Matter is made of Minuscule Atoms and 2 or more Atoms joined together are called molecules and groups of molecules are called substance.
