It was a week of science with Dr. Gina Malczewski from Midland ACS who came to Mrs Richardson’s class to present a lesson on hydrophobic (water-hating) and hydrophilic (water-loving) materials. The nature of those materials and how they are used were discussed, and the students made“instant snow” from a polymer also used in disposable diapers. They tested materials from fabrics to plastics with water to categorize them. In addition, “moon sand” was examined versus regular sand, as an example of how materials may be modified to change their properties—“moon sand” repels water due to a coating of silicone. Students also learned about emulsions that are formed when surfactants are added to make hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials “get along”—they made a simple lotion with oil, water and a Dow silicone surfactant. Dr. Tracy Zhang from MSU St. Andrews in Midland also came to visit and taught the students about 3d printers and had them design their own keychain that they could keep. #GoFalcons
