Experiements for Science week

To celebrate Science week we enjoyed some experiments, using our knowledge to predict what we thought may happen.

The first was about oxygen and fire... How exciting to see the candle go out all on it's own as the flame runs out of oxygen. For the second we used some hot milk and vinegar to make plastic. The protein in the milk (casein) is isolated in the 'whey' when we add the vinegar. After draining we can shape and mould the plastic just like playdough. It takes a little while to dry, but we have enjoyed watching the changes. #stavertonkindergarten #stavertonkindergartenchelmer #scienceweek #chelmer
