    If you’re looking for a fun science experiment to do in the kitchen, you’ve landed in the right place! These five easy milk science experiments use milk as the main ingredient.

    Make ice cream with milk, ice and salt. Find out how to make butter from cream ( not quite milk ), make glue from milk, create colourful explosions in a tray of milk and make a little ornament from milk. These simple science activities are great fun and use items you probably already have in your kitchen!

    Glue from milk

    Make homemade glue from milk. All you need is milk, white vinegar and baking soda. The vinegar is used to split milk into curds and whey. This fun kitchen science experiment is very simple but requires adult help to heat the milk.
