In this lab we were trying to see if a liquid can turn into a solid. The tool we did to do this lab was fake mucus. The mucus at first was a liquid but we added glue, borax and also water. I noticed that the more glue we put the more chunkier it got. Also the more water there was the harder it was to make the liquid a solid. The purpose of this project was to see if phlegm (liquid) could turn into a solid. At first we put glue, water, and borax into a cylinder. Next we started to add more and more glue with a little bit more of borax as well so the liquid could dry up. After awhile, it started to become thicker and turned into a liquid. The results of this lab is that a liquid could turn into a solid and a solid could turn into a liquid as well. For example, water is a liquid but as soon as you put it into a freezer it now becomes a solid. I am still confused about how glue made the liquid into a solid when the glue is also a liquid. The big idea of this project was to try to turn a liquid into a solid. I learned that a solid could turn into a liquid, a liquid could turn into a solid and also liquid could turn into gas. I was surprised that the more glue there was, the faster it became a solid. I discovered that solids can turn into liquids just by melting. For example, how a ice cube is a solid then when its exposed to heat it turns into a liquid.
