What can we find out about milk?

Recording Sheet

Type of Milk	What colour is it?	How does it look?	How does it pour?	How does it taste?
Skim milk	white, milky	white liquid like regular milk	pours very easily like water	like regular milk but not as creamy because it has less fat
Flavoured milk	chocolate colour	like chocolate coloured milk	pours quite easily	like melted chocolate poured into whole milk
Evaporated milk	cream colour	like fresh cream but thin consistency	easy to pour	like unsweetened and runny fresh cream but with less fat
Condensed milk	pale custard colour	like custard but lighter colour	pours slowly like golden syrup	extremely sweet like golden syrup but nice and creamy

 

We chose four types of milk for testing i.e. skim milk, flavoured milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk. We poured about three quarters of each type of milk into separate cups. We looked carefully at the appearance of the milk samples. We noticed that they were of different colours, some poured out easily like water while others poured slowly like golden syrup.

We tasted the samples of milk. Some tasted creamy and some tasted sweet. After recording our observations we mixed all the samples together and enjoyed our own creation of a delicious new milky creamy shake.
