Let’s talk about milk today! Even more specifically, let’s talk about an activity you can explore at home using milk. We can do something very interesting with milk, something you probably never thought of before, which is turning milk into milk plastic. Milk plastic!? You heard us right, we are going to take the delicious milk that you buy at the grocery store and turn it into a hard polymer that you can shape and play with. More information on how exactly we do this, and how you can try it at home in the full Science Sunday segment below.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
