Can you make plastic out of milk?
Aim: to try and make plastic out of milk
Hypothesis: it won't turn into plastic but turn into a soft or hard substance like feta cheese.
MATERIALS:
.a bowl
.teaspoons
.a cup of milk
.vinegar
. Sifter
STEPS:
1. Measure one cup of milk and pour the milk into a microwaveable cup.
2. Put the cup of milk into a microwave and heat until hot but not boiling!
3. Remove the cup of milk from the microwave.
4. Pour the milk into a bowl.
5. Pour four teaspoons of vinegar in the bowl.
6. Stir the liquid until you see small blobs forming.
7. Pour the liquid through the sifter. Left behind will be the blobs.
8. Mould the blobs into a circle and rinse it under cold water.
RESULTS:
There were a few variables in the experiment. But we were focusing on milk with vinegar and milk with lemon juice.when we tried the milk and vinegar the casein crumbled and fell apart.the reaction that occurred using the milk and lemon juice produced the best result as it stuck together and combined a thick and more stable substance.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion we could not mack plastic out of milk but when it was combined with vinegar we did make a substance called Casein. This is made because the protein in the full fat milk reacted with the vinegar and so that is how Casein is made. Casein is in all mammals milk. It can be used to make cheese, protein and glue est and also is in some plastics but not all plastics.

Plastic milk
Can we make plastic out of milk?
Aim: To make plastic out of milk.
Hypothesis: I thought that the milk and vinegar was going to stay separate.
Method:
You will need:
A cup of full fat milk
A teaspoon
DYC vinegar
A microwave
A bowl
A strainer
1. Measure one cup of milk.
2. Place the milk into the microwave and set it so that the milk is hot BUT DO NOT BOIL!
3. Pour the milk into the bowl.
4. Add four teaspoons of DYC vinegar into the milk.
5. Stir the milk and vinegar together for one minute.
6. Pour the mixture into the strainer and strain the liquid out.
7. Run the mixture under cold water.
8. Tip the mixture into your hand and Mold it.
Results: we used a couple of variables in our experiment. The milk and lemon juice made a more stable substance. It stuck together better. The milk and vinegar substance fell apart.
Conclusion:
You can not make plastic out of milk but you can make casein by adding vinegar. Casein is a protein. Casein can be used to make paint, cheese, glue and plastic. Casein is also Latin for cheese.
