Make Goobledy Slime,Blubber Experiment And Separating Egg Whites and Egg Yolks

Make Goobledy Slime!

What you'll need: Boiling water (be careful with this) A cup Gelatin Corn syrup A teaspoon A fork Instructions: Fill half a cup with boiling water. Add three teaspoons of gelatin to the boiling water. Let it soften before stirring with a fork. Add a quarter of a cup of corn syrup. Stir the mixture again with your fork and look at the long strands of gunk that have formed. As the mixture cools slowly add more water, small amounts at a time. What's happening? Mucus is made mostly of sugars and protein. Although different than the ones found in the real thing, this is exactly what you used to make your fake snot. The long, fine strings you could see inside your fake snot when you moved it around are protein strands. These protein strands make snot sticky and capable of stretching. Blubber Experiment Blubber experiment Discovering the secret of blubber is awesome fun, just ask any child who has done this experiment. This is an easy and safe science experiment for kids of all ages and makes learning fun! Number of players: 1+ What you need: two cups cold water ice cubes white fat/lard/shortening Activity: Fill two cups with cold water and ice-cubes. Roll the fat into a ball and stick one finger in the middle of it. Make sure your finger is completely covered by the fat. Now immerse the fat-covered finger in one cup and another finger in the other cup and see how long you can keep your fingers in the water. You'll want to take the uncovered finger out first. Why? The fat will protect your skin from the cold because it is protected by blubber. Whales, seals and walruses all have a layer of fat called blubber to insulate their bodies from the freezing water. Separating Egg Whites and Egg Yolks A simple and quick method to remove the yolk from the white of an egg for your favorite recipes When a recipe calls for egg whites, you might want to freak out. If you're running short on time, you don't have the patience and time necessary to separate that pesky yolk from the egg white. Not to worry, because Steve has found a way to pull the yolk right out of the egg white. It's quick, easy, and a little fun.       Materials Egg (or two, or three) Empty plastic water bottle Bowls or plates . Crack an egg into a bowl or plate. Be careful not to break the yolk when cracking the egg. In your hand, lightly squeeze an empty plastic water bottle. You don't want to compress the water bottle all of the way.  Hold the water bottle in the squeezed position. Don't release it. Touch the mouth of the water bottle to the egg yolk and slowly release the squeeze on the bottle. The egg yolk is pushed right into the bottle, leaving the egg white! Take It Further! If you want to use this tool for more than recipes in your home, turn it into a literature connection. Separate the yolk from the egg white and add green food coloring to the egg white. Replace the egg yolk and voila... now you have real green eggs to use while reading Green Eggs and Ham to your students. How does it work? When you squeeze the bottle, you are decreasing the air inside. If you squeeze the bottle while the mouth is facing towards you, you'll feel air rush out. Releasing the squeeze on the bottle allows air to rush back into the bottle. If you cover the mouth of the bottle with the egg yolk prior to releasing the squeeze, the available volume inside the bottle is filled by the egg yolk. The egg yolk separates easily from the egg white because of their differing viscosity. While the egg white is runny and slimy, the yolk is more solid, enabling the entire yolk to enter the bottle while the egg white runs off onto the  or bowl.
