Slicky Slime
Let's experience the moldable, stretchy, ooey, gooey side of science by making slime.


   
Two mixing bowls
      Measuring cups
      Spoons
      Glue
      Borax
      Green Food Coloring
      Water

         
Borax can be found with laundry detergents in most grocery stores.


Step 1:
Mix together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 cup glue and
               several drops of green food coloring in the first bowl.
Step 2: In the second bowl, mix together 4 teaspoons borax and
               1 1/3 cups warm water.
Step 3: Pour the contents of the first bowl into the second, but
              do not stir.  Let it sit for 1 minute, then lift the "now
              congealed" slime out of the bowl.
Caution: The glue in the slime can make it stick to certain
               fabrics.


You have produced a chemical reaction!  The molecules have mixed together and interacted.  The slime is an example of a polymer, a long chainlike molecule.
