Do you guys know what starch is? I do, it is a powder that you can sometimes use for cooking. In this picture below I have made some homemade starch I am going to tell you how to make this homemade starch step by step. Here are the instructions down below.
You will need a bandanna, 3 large potatoes, vegetable peeler, chopping board, grater, water and a small mixing bowl. Here are the instructions.
1. Ask an adult to help you peel and grate 3 large potatoes over a chopping board.
2. Half fill the bowl with water.
3. Put the grated potato into the bandanna. Tie up the bandanna.
4. Dip the bandanna into the water. Squeeze it very hard into the bowl.
5. Keep dipping the bandanna into the water.
6. When the water looks cloudy leave the water to set somewhere warm for 1 hour
7. Do you see that white substance in the bowl that is starch.
8. Pour out as much water as you can and try to leave as much starch as you can in the bowl.
9. Leave the starch to dry for about 1 hour. When you come back it should be ready.
Let me know how this turned out for you.
