The potato science game is one of the fun educational science games, fun science experiments, and cool kids cooking games.
Potatoes are a very versatile food. They taste good, too!
They can be fried to make french fries. They can be mashed to make mashed potatoes.
They're turned into potato chips. You can bake them and have a baked potato.
They're made into hashbrowns for breakfast and also home fries. You can boil them, bake them, broil them, fry them and microwave them.
In this experiment, you'll find out a major component of potatoes!
Need: 2 large potatoes, small bowl, scarf or bandana.
Let an adult peel the potatoes. After they're peeled, have the adult grate them.
Fill the bowl half full with water.
Take the grated potatoes and place them in the bandana or handkerchief. Tie the ends together.
Holding the bandana by the tied ends, dip the part of it where the potatoes are into the bowl of water. Squeeze the water back into the bowl.
Keep repeating - dipping into the water then squeezing the water back into the bowl. The water should turn cloudy.
Let the water sit for at least 60 minutes. There should be powder at the bottom of the bowl and water on top.
Drain the water that's on top then leave the powder sit until it's dry.
Once dry, you have starch!
