Experimentos científicos con Luna - Scientific experiments with Luna

^{Hello fathers and mothers of this beautiful community, today we come with something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but did not have the time, that is now in the past, we did it and I hope it is not the only one, we want to do many more.}

^{I once commented in a post that I loved science, since I was a little girl I was very curious and wanted to find the explanation to things, my parents were not very involved with us in our studies, so I started to read and investigate things of interest, I was very excited to make sense of things, First I was interested in dinosaurs and their types until their final extinction due to the impact of an asteroid, therefore I became interested in everything related to the universe, the planets, I learned a lot about them, chemical compositions, gravity and well, what can I say, it is still a very exciting topic for me haha, like a nerd that I am and with great pride.}

^{Although I know that Luna may be interested in other things and not exactly like me, I have always tried to introduce her to science so that she has it at hand and if she has a question one day we can look it up together, she is too curious too haha so she has always been interested in knowing everything and being in everything, I am taking advantage of that desire to know to practice science together and do fun experiments, so I thought we could show you how we do it and also have fun with an activity that nourishes you, learn about the reactions of some substances when they are mixed, and know the world beyond what is at first sight.}

^{In this first opportunity we chose two experiments that are very entertaining: the foam volcano and the non-Newtonian fluid. We started with the Foam Volcano, the elements used were the following:}

^{-A small container, preferably thin and a little high, so that you can better observe the reaction and how the foam rises.}

^{-Hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide 3%, it is available in pharmacies, recommended from 240cm onwards for greater reaction.}

^{-Some type of coloring, it can be edible or of another type, the idea is to give color to the foam so that it looks more amusing.}

^{-Liquid soap, it can be for washing dishes or for washing hands.}

^{-Yeast, activated in warm or hot water, for each tablespoon of yeast mix with 3 tablespoons of water.}

^Preparation:

^{Pour in the container the hydrogen peroxide, leaving space for the other elements, then place a little coloring, mix well until the water changes color, then apply a little soap, as you want the amount of foam, mix everything well.}

^{Apart activate the yeast in the water until you have a thick consistency, once ready comes the most awaited moment. Finally, pour the yeast in our mixture and you will notice how the foam comes out immediately.}

^{This experiment shows us the reaction that occurs between hydrogen peroxide (3% hydrogen peroxide) and the yeast itself, the yeast absorbs the water and oxygen is released and with the soap small bubbles are formed with the help of oxygen are expanding through the container, thus causing a volcano of foam.}

^{Luna loves this experiment, although we had to use a taller container hehe, the foam formed almost on the table, but that's what experiments are all about, some will turn out well, others not so well, the idea is to keep experimenting until you reach the desired result, this in particular is one of my favorites, ideal for making models of volcanoes there is a perfect recipe for school projects.}

^{Then we continue with Luna's favorite haha, Newtonian fluid, for this experiment we will only need two elements, cornstarch and water (h2O).}

^preparation:

^{In a container, preferably large, pour the starch, make sure it is enough to better observe the fluid, 200g onwards and then pour a little water.}

^{It can be observed how the viscosity of the mixture is liquid, but when pressure is exerted it becomes solid, it is an extraordinary phenomenon, the mixture does not have a constant state, it can be both liquid and solid, this is an ideal and low-budget experiment to do at home.}

^{It is called non-Newtonian fluid, since the definition of a Newtonian fluid is when the viscosity of the fluid is maintained in a single state, either liquid (with thickness, but still liquid) or solid (but moldable as plasticine, for example) on the other hand, the NON-Newtonian fluid is so called because it is not maintained in a single state, its viscosity varies between two states, liquid and solid.}

^{This is Luna's favorite, because she spends a long time manipulating the mixture hahaha and she is very impressed with how the dough can be hard and then water, the truth is that if it attracts a lot of attention, the laws of physics in this experiment blows your mind hahaha, but it is possible and easy to do at home.}

^{We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the reactions of some elements, adore doing these experiments, it's me in my world hahaha and including Luna in them is for me an experience that I can not describe, I hope not to take long to continue showing you more fun experiments, thank you very much for stopping by, a big hug.}
