MELTING!

As our focus is kitchen science this term we have been looking at all the different ways we can change states of matter. First we looked at boiling vinegar, juice and coke to see what would happen. We were surprised to see that the vinegar boiled the quickest.

This week we looked at melting. We decided to pose the question of which on would melt first between yogurt, coke and water. Students create their own hypothesis of which one they thought and why. Lots of people thought the yogurt would as it is thicker.

We then timed the experiment. The ice cubes took 15 minutes to melt, the coke was not fair behind and we observed that the yogurt became softer but did not melt. After an hour the yogurt had a water residue around it.
