My group's question
Uncle Tom's Milk
Uncle Tom lives in Frankfurt, Germany. There, milk is delivered in glass bottles to the doorstep of almost every house. Each milk bottle is sealed with a heavy paper cap. The milk bottles have to be brought quickly into the house, es
One day, Uncle Tom forgot to bring in the milk bottles into the house. When he realized and went out to check on the milk, he found that the bottles were opened and the milk was all over the ground. It was a cold winter especially when outside temperature is below freezing.
Why did the cap come off?
Possibilities:
1. Maybe milk is like water. It freezes and expands when the temperature is below a certain temperature(approximately 4 degrees celsius). Therefore, it could be that the milk expanded, while the bottle contracted, causing the bottle to break. However, the milk would not be spilt all over the floor. It would be frozen in a lump.
2.It exploded…as there were some chemicals inside.
rained @ 3:50 AM
