What makes a polymer? A lesson on the states of matter
Aim: Can you create a different state of matter by mixing two liquids together?
Yes or No • 1. What do you think? • Press Y for Yes. • Press N for No. • Choose your answer.
What are the three states of matter? • water, wood, and wind • liquid, solid, and gas • soda, pencil, and oxygen
Make a Hypothesis Now make a hypothesis based on this question with your partner: What will happen when the two mixtures are combined?
Now for the experiment!We will need the following materials:1. Borax2. Glue3. Water4. Popsicle Stick (for mixing)5. a bowl
Procedure, Step 1 (the directions, duh!) 1. Measure ¼ cup of water and ¼ cup of white glue. Now mix them together with the popsicle stick! • Now, discuss with your partner what you observe when mixing two liquids.
Step 2 2. Measure 1/3 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of Borax. Stir with the popsicle stick until the Borax dissolves. • Discuss with your partner what happened to the solid when it was mixed with the liquid.
Step 3 3. Next, pour the glue mixture into the Borax mixture. Stir the two mixtures together. • Discuss what you are observing with your partner.
Step 4 4. Remove the glue mixture from the bowl. Knead the glue mixture together for two minutes. Watch the clock!
Step 5 5. Observe the material. What state of matter would you classify the material as?
What state of matter would you classify the material as? • Gas • Liquid • Solid • All of the above
Record Your Observations • Pull out your science notebook. Record what you learned about the three states of matter.
