I like to produce Science resources that are of a topical nature, both Science and Mathematics games and Science resources with a practical theme. I have taught Science and Mathematics, been a writer for the Science Upd8 program, exam writer with Biology Olympiad (NZ) and Senior Biology lecturer at Unitec Step-Up program, NZ. Should you experience any problem with my resources - contact me and I'll change it and send you a replacement.

Milk in your tea?

Milk in your tea?

(0)
A practical investigation based on the reason that the British add milk to their tea. Is it best to add the milk before or after pouring the hot tea into your cup? Remember that you are responsible for producing a risk assessment for the activity and the class that will undertake the activity. Depending upon the ability and maturity of the class that will conduct the experiment, then I would consider: Using heat resistant beakers rather than china cups. Resistance to breakage and convenient volume markings might make life easier. Using water baths at preset temperatures - the water does not need to be boiling. However the observable effect will be greater with just boiled water or will it? The activity is open to modification. Use data loggers/projectors should the activity be used as a demonstration. Trial the experiment beforehand and modify as necessary. I have provided a simple reporting tool but again this can be modified depending on your class and time availability. Have fun!
