9th grade Physical Science was delighted to make some “mutant milk maggots” today in a mini-lab. Ok, no mutant insect larvae were actually produced here… We are studying mixtures, suspensions, solutions, and colloids. Milk is a colloid and you can’t see its constituent particles with the unaided eye. But when you add some acetic acid, the proteins and fats will begin to coagulate in a gross, goopy fashion…and you can really see them! This separated curd (solids) from the whey (liquid). They did not enjoy Mrs. Ulland's segue into the process of making cheese 🧀 and buttermilk, especially right before lunch hour. 😆 The class made hypotheses about how the experiment would progress if 1) temperature of the milk was increased, and 2) if the milk fat content was increased.
