MAKING GLUE OUT OF

MILK

Here’s what will happen to the milk. By adding the vinegar, you create a chemical reaction which
makes the milk to separate into two parts, a solid (the curds), and a liquid (the whey). The curds are milk
protein, called casein. Liquid casein is a natural glue.
When you add the baking soda it neutralizes the vinegar ( which is acidic ). The bubbles are caused by
carbon dioxide gas being given off as part of the reaction. The curds form a liquid again after being
neutralized.
MATERIALS :
 Milk
 Vinegar
 Baking Soda
 Water
 Pan
 Strainer

PROCEDURE :
First you need to split the milk into curds and whey.

 Heat 1 and a half cups of milk in a pan, once warm add 3 teaspoons of white vinegar.

 Keep heating and stirring the mixture and you should see the curds ( solid part ) and whey ( liquid part )
separate.

 Strain the mixture using a sieve. You should be left with solid lumps which you can mould together to
make a ball. These are the curds.

 Place the solid mixture back in the pan and add a little water and a tablespoon of baking soda. Heat the
mixture until it starts to bubble.
 Give it a good stir and let it cool. You can now use it as glue.
 You might need to add a little more water or baking soda until you get the right consistency. It should
look like a thick paste.
