Solubility experiment

I present you a simple experiment to demonstrate the solubility of different substances. This experiment will help us to see if some materials are soluble in water applying the scientific method.


The substances that we use are:
nailvarnish
icing sugar
rice
cotton wool
instant coffee powder
tap water

We also need the following lab (or kitchen) utensils:
measuring jug
5 glasses
teaspoon.

I formulated my hypothesis and you can see in the video the results.

Potato regeneration

Today we'll regenerate potato plants from parts of potatoes.


Did you know that for avoiding potatoes to grow little roots you have to put it in the same bag as an apple? Apples release etilen a substace which stops the roots growing.

But, today we will use potatoes from vegetative parts of the tuber so we need some that did not stay close to any apple. When are old, potatoes start to grow roots to regenerate themself. After using the potatoes for cooking, we can use part of the peelings to regenerate the entire plant.
You will need:
  • a grid or a net
  • a container to fill with water
  • old potatoes
Watch our video to discover how we did it.




As you can see, it's important that the potatoes are covered with a thin layer of water specially during the first days, until the roots grow. After the roots come out you don't have to worry about the lack of water because they can submerge in the water in the container underneath.

Also we could see how an opaque container could be better for growing taller plants.

We hope you like our potato project for gardening.

Coffee wells & oil



Don't throw away the coffee wells after making your coffee!

Do you know coffee is a primary product? It is consumed worldwide. On the other side, it can cause pollution because of the release of the disposable cups and of coffee wells in the environment. Coffee wells thrown in the rubbish bin go to the organic waste which is taken to the city dump causing problems of pollution.

In our previous video we made compost with coffee wells (Homemade compost)
                                                         
Today, we'll help you to repair your wood furniture, only using oil & coffee wells. 
 
I was inspired by my aunty's coffee rostery (coffee factory) in Italy. It's Caffé mo.ca of Moka Express. so, we just wants to give to all the coffee lovers a way to recycle their coffee wells in a daily use.



The coffee wells darken the wood and the oil illuminate it. 

Watch our video to know how to do it. 


we hope you enjoy your furniture
