This week in science club we wanted to have a go at making our own play dough.
This was a messy business indeed. Mrs Stevenson scoured her cupboards and finally came up with the right ingredients.
Did you know that there is science behind all of the ingredients in your cupboards? In this play dough recipe the dry ingredients, salt and flour are physically combined to create a mixture. When the liquid ingredients, water, cream of tartar and vegetable oil are combined with the dry ingredients they create a solution. We are getting very good at using our scientific vocabulary!
Thankfully all of our mixing and creating solutions, worked and we were able to go home with a little bag of our very own play dough.
