stem story that's you doing today.
- 00:02 - 00:04
We're gonna talk about something a little bit less of
- 00:05 - 00:07
a project, are a challenge, and more.
- 00:08 - 00:11
It's a material that you could be using with the
- 00:11 - 00:12
challenges that we've been doing.
- 00:14 - 00:16
And this is the material that you may have around
- 00:16 - 00:16
your house.
- 00:16 - 00:21
But it's actually one that we can easily make on.
- 00:21 - 00:22
What I like about this is we can make it.
- 00:23 - 00:26
Excuse me, any color that you like.
- 00:27 - 00:29
What I'm talking about is making your own Plato specifically
- 00:30 - 00:31
no cook.
- 00:31 - 00:33
Plato. There are a lot of recipes that you can
- 00:33 - 00:35
find out on the Internet that require cooking, but this
- 00:36 - 00:39
is a no cook Plato recipe, mainly because I work
- 00:39 - 00:42
with elementary school kids and I want to be booed.
- 00:43 - 00:46
Create something it was safer for them to do.
- 00:46 - 00:49
Uh, make sure, though we're doing this with an adult,
- 00:50 - 00:50
the recipe does.
- 00:51 - 00:53
Duke does call for some hot water, eh?
- 00:54 - 00:56
So you want to make sure the adults is around
- 00:56 - 00:57
and helping you out.
- 00:57 - 01:01
So, Plato, I mean, can't get any easier than this.
- 01:01 - 01:04
And you could make it any possible color you want.
- 01:04 - 01:06
As long as you've got some variety of food coloring
- 01:07 - 01:08
you can always makes him.
- 01:08 - 01:10
So. What we need is two cups of flour, all
- 01:11 - 01:12
purpose baking flour.
- 01:13 - 01:14
Anything will work.
- 01:14 - 01:18
A cz long is it is two cups and basic
- 01:19 - 01:22
flower. Now we're gonna need 3/4 of a cup of
- 01:22 - 01:24
salt, and this has to be a fine kind of
- 01:24 - 01:29
table. So coarse ground salt, we use it for a
- 01:29 - 01:31
lot of baking will not work with us.
- 01:31 - 01:32
This has to be fine.
- 01:33 - 01:36
Soul. So 3/4 of a cup of that, we're gonna
- 01:36 - 01:39
need two tablespoons of cream of tartar.
- 01:39 - 01:40
Make sure when you're doing these measurements.
- 01:41 - 01:44
Tablespoon is very different than a tea spoon.
- 01:44 - 01:46
This is two tablespoons of cream of tartar.
- 01:47 - 01:49
You confined cream of tartar in your spice section.
- 01:50 - 01:52
Almost every grocery store out there.
- 01:52 - 01:54
It's pretty easy to grab and get your get ahold
- 01:55 - 01:57
of. This is where I need for you to work
- 01:57 - 01:57
with an adult.
- 01:58 - 02:00
You're gonna need two cups of hot water.
- 02:01 - 02:04
Best if you had some boiling water, but you can
- 02:04 - 02:07
actually use the hottest water you can get out of
- 02:07 - 02:07
your tap.
- 02:08 - 02:10
Let the tap run for a while and hot, and
- 02:10 - 02:12
then you need two cups of that.
- 02:12 - 02:15
So this is make sure that you're using adult to
- 02:15 - 02:17
do this part of it, and you're also gonna need
- 02:18 - 02:20
two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- 02:21 - 02:23
Any type of vegetable will work.
- 02:23 - 02:25
Try. DOn't use olive oil.
- 02:26 - 02:28
Olive oil will tend to spoil and go Grasset, and
- 02:29 - 02:30
you'll have to throw your Plato out.
- 02:30 - 02:33
Now Here's a very specific, important trick.
- 02:33 - 02:36
If you put the food coloring in the water before
- 02:36 - 02:38
you mix it in with your flower and your dry
- 02:39 - 02:43
goods, it's actually much easier to color your Plato and
- 02:43 - 02:47
get a consistent color and less mess on your hands.
- 02:48 - 02:50
So we put the color in the water first, which
- 02:51 - 02:53
is super important, So the first thing you want to
- 02:53 - 02:56
do is take your flower your salt Andrew Cream attacker.
- 02:57 - 02:59
Throw it in a mixing bowl and use a spatula.
- 03:00 - 03:02
It's a kind of mix and blend it all up
- 03:03 - 03:05
and get it really, really mixed up.
- 03:05 - 03:08
Well, that's going to really be important to the success
- 03:09 - 03:09
of your Plato.
- 03:10 - 03:14
Then you're gonna take your colored water hot, hot, hot
- 03:15 - 03:18
and your olive or your vegetable oil.
- 03:18 - 03:21
Vegetable oil in with the hot water as well stern
- 03:21 - 03:28
around and then slowly pour your water mixture into the
- 03:28 - 03:31
flour salt mixture and stirring as you go along.
- 03:31 - 03:33
No, it's going to get to a point where you're
- 03:33 - 03:35
gonna have to actually use your hands to need it.
- 03:36 - 03:39
If you're worried about staying in your hands, make sure
- 03:39 - 03:40
you wear some gloves from rubber gloves.
- 03:41 - 03:42
If you're using food coloring.
- 03:43 - 03:45
If you do stay in your hands, you can scrub
- 03:45 - 03:48
him. Probably gonna be staying for a couple days.
- 03:48 - 03:49
It's food coloring.
- 03:49 - 03:51
It's not going to bother you unless you have an
- 03:51 - 03:52
allergy to it.
- 03:52 - 03:54
So make sure that you're using some sort of glove.
- 03:55 - 03:57
Now that's it.
- 03:57 - 03:58
You've added your color of water and oil.
- 03:59 - 04:02
You mix it up and you have done it.
- 04:03 - 04:06
Now here's my suggestion to make one batch of time,
- 04:06 - 04:07
one color time.
- 04:08 - 04:11
Don't try to do too much at once, and you
- 04:11 - 04:13
know what mixture colors remember.
- 04:13 - 04:15
If you only have the four primary or the three
- 04:16 - 04:19
primaries, you can fix those who create other colors, and
- 04:19 - 04:21
you can always brighten things with a little bit of
- 04:21 - 04:24
yellow, like your take your green and mix it with
- 04:24 - 04:27
yellow. Be great, makes it a brighter, brighter green.
- 04:28 - 04:29
You're reading your yellow.
- 04:29 - 04:32
It makes great oranges, purples a little tough to do.
- 04:32 - 04:36
But, you know, with all the new cake decorating stuff
- 04:36 - 04:38
that's out there, there's a lot new colors.
- 04:38 - 04:40
Ah, lot more than when I was a little kid.
- 04:41 - 04:43
We had very basic colors, and they have some really
- 04:43 - 04:45
cool colors now, so you could make some really cool
- 04:45 - 04:48
platos, but always remember, have fun.
- 04:49 - 04:51
Mr. Ewing wants you to be having fun while you're
- 04:51 - 04:54
learning. Please know that you're Plato will stick to be
- 04:55 - 04:56
pretty good for about six months.
- 04:57 - 04:59
You ever take really depends on how you store it.
- 05:00 - 05:02
Put it in a baggie when you're not using it,
- 05:02 - 05:06
or any container that has a seal lived where you
- 05:06 - 05:06
can push a little.
- 05:06 - 05:10
The air out of it might work putting in the
- 05:10 - 05:10
refrigerator, though.
- 05:10 - 05:13
If you do refrigerate it, you're gonna have to work
- 05:13 - 05:14
with it when you pull it out of the refrigerator
- 05:15 - 05:17
while it's cold or warm it up to make you
- 05:17 - 05:18
actually work really well.
- 05:18 - 05:22
Now, remember, always be safe while making your own Plato.
- 05:22 - 05:24
Just because we're using materials out of our kitchen does
- 05:25 - 05:26
not mean that you can eat this.
- 05:27 - 05:28
Please, please, please do not eat this.
- 05:29 - 05:31
And with using the hot water having adult help you.
- 05:32 - 05:38
But go and make some home made Plato, it's gonna
- 05:38 - 05:40
be a lot cheaper than buying it out the store.
- 05:40 - 05:42
But if you have stuff from the store, you know
- 05:42 - 05:43
what you can use that to.
- 05:44 - 05:46
But this way you could make the colors that you
- 05:46 - 05:46
want to create.
- 05:47 - 05:49
Can't wait to see what you can do with it.
- 05:49 - 05:49
Have some fun.
