  1. Science in the workplace Making gluesLesson 1

  2. What would the world be like without glue?

  3. Learning outcomes • Describe some of the roles involved in producing a consumer product • Explain the role that science has in the development and production of new products • Create and carry out a plan to make glues of different formulations and test their strength

  4. Question • What is the best milk glue for sticking wood? • Can you make and test glues of different formulations to find out?

  5. Making the glue • Mix together milk and vinegar • Filter the mixture • Divide the solid into portions • Neutralise each portion with a different base • Repeat with a different milk

  6. Product development manager Design the work you do to ensure a variety of glues are made Oversee the smooth running of your team Ensure everyone is busy Product testing technician Set up the glues for testing Ensure that the tests will be fair Label everything for testing Work in teams • Lab technician Measure and weigh out the chemicals Label the chemicals Label the glues which have been made Product development chemist Use the chemicals weighed out by the lab technician to separate the milk into curds and whey Neutralise the curds to make the glue

  7. Making glues Lesson 2

  8. Learning outcomes • Describe some of the roles involved in producing a consumer product • Explain the role that science has in the development and production of new products • Create and carry out a plan to make glues of different formulations and test their strength

  9. Team meeting • You need to be prepared to give a short presentation (30–60 seconds) about one of the following: • what you did to make the glues • what you did to set up the glues for testing • how you might to test the glues • any predictions for what you might find out.

  10. Testing the glues • Set up a testing station • Rest the lolly sticks on two chairs with a gap between them • Hang weights on the lolly sticks • Record what weight they can hold before the glue fails

  11. Careers in product development • Where do these careers fit in the timeline for getting a new product to market? • Sales and marketing • Product development chemist • Formulation chemist • Post-sales advisory chemist • Technician to carry out testing • Manufacturing
