Pasha, Rushana and their son Aaryan explore how mixing different quantities of water with different types of flour produces some surprising results. They learn how to make this classic children’s toy, while learning the difference between a mixture and a solution.
They make playdough from flour, salt, water and vegetable oil, with a little food colouring added to make it more fun. Salt and flour combined together produce a ‘mixture’ – they are physically combined but no reaction has taken place. When the water and food colouring mix completely they form a solution. When all the ingredients are heaped in together and kneaded, a new substance is formed because chemical reactions have taken place.

i love the video im going to try to make this
Hi
Thats me the little boy
Wonderful video!
Such a great video! This has helped me so much with a lesson plan for students about flour 🙂 !
Very good video, the quality is very good too, bravo

I love your acxcet and how you made the playdough
Do need to put food coloring
Cool
Made it!!!!!
Instead of food colouring what can we use??
This was good, even for someone who isn't a kid. I learned some new vocabulary and received a demonstration about it. Intuitively you know this stuff but having it put into words was informative.
