Here is the recipe and a youtube video on the experiment we did last week in class. You could try making your own plastic at home.

  

Watch the Youtube video below to see how it’s done.

Making Plastic From Milk.

This experiment can be done using the Youtube recipe.  

Or alternatively you could use the heating method with a saucepan.

This activity can be done at home.

If you are using the heated method adult supervision is important.

• Half fill a beaker with milk.
• Slowly stir in two teaspoons of vinegar.
• Continue to slowly add the vinegar until the mixture begins to gel.
• Pour out the watery fluid.
• Take out the plastic and mould into a shape.

      You have plastic!
