One class period

Overview
Utilizing renewable resources in the classroom visually illustrates the principles of Green
Chemistry. The Milk and Glue activity demonstrates to the students that you can take a renewable resource-milk in this case, and through a chemical reaction, turn it into a usable product such as glue. The activity also shows the students that chemistry can be fun. One batch of glue will be made, although this glue does not have a long shelf life.
Procedure

4.

Measure ¼ cup of hot water
Pout into a clear 9-ounce cup
Add 2 tablespoons of powdered mil to the water and stir until dissolved.
Add one tablespoon of vinegar to the mixture and stir. You should see the milk begin to separate into solid chunks of curd and a watery liquid called whey.
5. Stir until the milk is well separated. [This separation works best when the milk is very warm or hot. That is why powdered milk and hot water are used. If your

milk does not separate well, try a little more vinegar or try heating it. If it

    It says that one of the children had mixed glue and paint into a cup and had made a string like mixture. I remember the child was laughing at her creation that she had made. I have the teacher thinking’s, which includes questions like “What is N. thinking while she is mixing the paint and glue?” and “Would the other children be interested with mixing the glue as well as N is?” I have the evaluation which states, “The activity went well there was a lot of children who participated there were around 9-10 children. It was really messy which I think kept the children engaged. I wish I could have looked into it more to add things that will interact with glue. They enjoyed mixing to make different…

    The vinegar is acidic, and so it curdles the solids so they can be separated from the whey, and the baking soda neutralises any acid that remains. From our experiment and the results that we have obtained, we can conclude that our hypothesis is correct and a protein content in milk will make the glue stronger and stickier. This is due to the casein in milk which gives…

    The type of experiment I was performing made me very anxious. Questions like, “Will the glue and borax solution bond properly, did the lab give me enough borax to dissolve in the water, and will the students understand what in the heck I’m talking about?” ran through my mind a time or two. In preparation, I learned a lot more than I thought I would because I had to have an understanding of the material to make it easier for the students to understand it. I performed the experiment at home before presenting in the classroom. It was a good thing I did because I learned that if you pour the glue in to fast and through the nozzle, it takes much longer to mix and bond, however if the nozzle is removed and a thicker consistency is dropped into the solution the results are much more…
