7 Days Left of School

To celebrate 7 days left we created a batch of slime! 

We watched science in action and learned all about polymerization. 

Students worked together to complete the steps required to make this fun slime:

(This will make a double batch!)

1.     Measure one cup of water and pour it into the small mixing bowl.

2.   Dump one bottle of glue into the water.

3.   Measure ½ cup of water and using the funnel, pour it into the empty glue bottle.

 

4.   Shake the bottle and empty it into the bowl.

 

5.   Dump another bottle of glue into the water.

6.   Measure ½ cup of water and using the funnel, pour it into the empty glue bottle.

7.    Shake the bottle and empty it into the bowl.

 

8.   Carefully stir the glue and water mixture until it is almost completely smooth.

 

9.   Add four drops of green food color to the bowl.

 

10.    Add four more drops of green food color to the bowl.

 

11.       Mix the glue, water, and food color mixture until the color is consistent.

 

12.     Measure one cup of hot water and pour it into the large mixing bowl.

 

13.     Measure one more cup of hot water and pour it into the large mixing bowl.

 

14.     Measure one teaspoon of Borax and pour it into the large mixing bowl.

15.     Measure one more teaspoon of Borax and pour it into the large mixing bowl.

 

16.     Stir the water and Borax mixture until the Borax has completely dissolved.

 

17.      Slowly and carefully pour the green glue and water mixture into the Borax and water mixture.

 

18.     Scrape out the glue bowl with the spatula.

 

19.     Slowly and carefully begin stirring the green glue, Borax, water mixture. Lift up the spatula every few stirs to show the class what is happening.

 

20.  Reach into the mixture with your hands! Try pulling it all out and putting it into an empty bowl.
