- [Assignment: स्टार्च की शक्ति और हल्दी का जादूकुल अंक: 50 समय: 1 घंटा (सूखने का समय अलग) उद्देश्य:तापमान का स्टार्च (मैदा/आटा) पर प्रभाव समझना (Gelatinization)। प्राकृतिक रंग (हल्दी) का रासायनिक व्यवहार (pH Indicator) देखना।बनाई गई सामग्री की मजबूती (Durability) का परीक्षण करना। 🧪भाग 1: "कच्चा बनाम पक्का" - गोंद का विज्ञान (The Glue Experiment)हम अक्सर सोचते हैं कि आटा और पानी मिलाने से पेस्ट बन जाता है, तो उसे 'पकाने' की क्या जरूरत है? आइए इसे विज्ञान से सिद्ध करें। आवश्यक सामग्री:2 कटोरी, 2 चम्मच।मैदा या आटा।कागज की 4 पट्टियाँ (Strips)।एक भारी किताब या ईंट। चरण-दर-चरण प्रक्रिया (Step-by-Step): सैंपल A (कच्चा पेस्ट): एक कटोरी में 1 चम्मच आटा और थोड़ा पानी मिलाएं। इसे पकाएं नहीं। बस घोल लें। सैंपल B (पक्का पेस्ट/लई): दूसरी कटोरी में 1 चम्मच आटा और पानी मिलाएं। इसे धीमी आंच पर तब तक पकाएं जब तक यह पारदर्शी (Translucent) और चिपचिपा न हो जाए। (जैसा पाठ 1.3 में सीखा)। चिपकाना:कागज की दो पट्टियाँ लें। उनके बीच में 'सैंपल A' लगाएं और चिपका दें। उस पर 'A' लिख दें।कागज की अन्य दो पट्टियाँ लें। उनके बीच में 'सैंपल B' लगाएं और चिपका दें। उस पर 'B' लिख दें। सूखाना: दोनों को धूप में 1 घंटे के लिए सूखने दें। निरीक्षण और परीक्षण (Observation & Testing):सूखने के बाद, दोनों पट्टियों को अलग करने की कोशिश करें (खींचें)। प्रश्न 1: कौन सी पट्टी आसानी से उखड़ गई? (A या B) प्रश्न 2: कौन सी पट्टी इतनी मजबूती से चिपकी कि कागज फट गया लेकिन जोड़ नहीं खुला? वैज्ञानिक कारण (The Science Behind It):जब हम आटे (Starch) को पानी के साथ गर्म करते हैं, तो स्टार्च के अणु (Molecules) पानी सोखकर फूल जाते हैं और फट जाते हैं। इसे 'Gelatinization' कहते हैं। यही प्रक्रिया लई को एक मजबूत गोंद बनाती है। कच्चा आटा केवल सूखकर पाउडर बन जाता है, चिपकता नहीं है। 🎨 भाग 2: हल्दी का रंग बदलें - "जादुई पेंट" (The Magic Paint Experiment)हल्दी केवल पीला रंग नहीं है, यह विज्ञान की भाषा में एक "प्राकृतिक संकेतक" (Natural Indicator) है। आइए इसका जादू देखें।आवश्यक सामग्री:आपकी बनाई हुई 'लई' (Paste)।हल्दी पाउडर।कपड़े धोने वाला साबुन (Detergent) या चूना (Lime)।सफेद कागज। चरण-दर-चरण प्रक्रिया (Step-by-Step): पीला पेंट बनाना: थोड़ी सी 'लई' में आधा चम्मच हल्दी मिलाएं। यह आपका पीला पेंट है। लिखना: इस पीले पेंट से कागज पर "INCLUDIA" या अपना नाम लिखें। जादू (The Magic Trick):थोड़ा सा डिटर्जेंट (सर्फ़) या चूना पानी में घोलें।अब एक रुई का फाहा (Cotton bud) या अपनी उंगली इस डिटर्जेंट के पानी में डुबोएं।इसे अपने लिखे हुए पीले नाम के ऊपर फेरें। निरीक्षण (Observation): प्रश्न 3: डिटर्जेंट लगते ही पीले रंग का क्या हुआ? क्या वह लाल/भूरा (Red/Brown) हो गया? वैज्ञानिक कारण (The Science Behind It):हल्दी (Turmeric) में 'Curcumin' होता है। यह एसिड और बेस (Acid-Base) को पहचानता है। साबुन या चूना 'क्षारीय' (Basic) होता है। जैसे ही हल्दी बेस (Base) के संपर्क में आती है, वह अपना रंग बदलकर गहरा लाल कर लेती है। (यही कारण है कि हल्दी के दाग पर साबुन लगाने से वह लाल हो जाता है!) 📋 असाइनमेंट सबमिशन शीट (Submission Sheet)इस असाइनमेंट को पूरा करने के लिए अपनी नोटबुक में यह टेबल बनाएं और फोटो खींचकर अपलोड करें। प्रयोगमेरा निरीक्षण (Observation)मैंने क्या सीखा?
