Note that only the ornament in the middle of the cookie sheet will be completely flat. 5) When you take them out of the oven, they will be very hot! Put parchment paper over the flatten cup and press a bowl down on the flatten cup to make sure it is completely flattened. If you wait to they cool you will not be able to flatten them completely. 6) Let cool down before grabbing them off cookie sheet. What happens when you heat the cups? The heat is changing the alignment of the polymer chains within the plastic. In the cup manufacturing process, a polymer resin is heated, extruded, rolled into flat sheets and then molded. This process aligns the polymers into an orderly pattern, but the heat of the oven returns them to their naturally disordered, clumped state Science Kits and more https://elementarysciencen.wixsite.com/sciencekits Kids Fun Science Online Store https://teespring.com/stores/kids-fun-science My Filming equipment: Cell Phone Tripod 54 inch Travel Tripod with Bluetooth Remote - https://amzn.to/34REzbB Blue Yeti USB Microphone - https://amzn.to/3ePJwGu Green screen & lights - https://amzn.to/2XT9Yc1 Apple iMac 21.5in 2.7GHz Core i5 8GB memory - https://amzn.to/34ZMIe7 iPhone 12 - hhttps://amzn.to/3JZvcKI iMovie for editing Disclaimer: Some of the above links are Amazon affiliate links from which I receive a small commission with each sale at no extra cost to you.
