How To Make Slime

Improved Essays
Did you know that slime is a unique material composed of a cross-linked polymer. Slime has a slightly unpleasant odor and is cold and slimy to the touch. The most common color are blue, green, and red. Some people even add scents to make them smell good. People use slime to concentrate or just to play with it. It is so much fun to make slime because their are many ways to make slime, and many colors and glitters to use and many activators. My last science project that I did was which better juice cleans better pennies. The result was that orange juice cleans better pennies because orange juice has acid. Slime is easy to make because probably you will …show more content…
Slime is a non-liquid which means that the viscosity or resistance of the liquid changes as you apply a stronger force. If you rest your hand on the surface of slime it will sink in but if you smack it the surface is solid. Did you know that when you add the borax solution to your glue the borate ions help link the long polymer molecules to each other so they cannot move and flow as easily. Slime can bounce because when you pull the slime quickly it gets thicker and it can snap because the chemical break. The chemical bonds in this polymer slime stretch before they break. This makes the slime elastic which allows it to bounce. When borax and polyvinyl alcohol are combined they undergo a chemical reaction. Even, slime make tires work by the coat inside of the tire within the thread area, allowing the product to seal tread area punctures. When the tire is punctured, the escaping air carries the sealant to the puncture. The liquid portion of the sealant escapes and the fibers and binders build-up and intertwine to

    In the beginning of the movie, the professor mentions a “propulsive polymer”. We have learned about polymers in chapter twenty-four. We learned that a polymer is a large molecule made up of smaller molecules; which are monomers. Monomers are linked together. The monomers must have needed to be in a perfect combination to have such unique properties, to create flubber.…

    Raisins aren’t appealing, tasty snacks since they are shriveled and dry but it can change with a can of Sprite into scientific terms that we don’t use often. The demonstration I chose to do is called “Dancing Raisins.” It is a very simple demonstration that only requires a cup of clear carbonated soda and a box of raisins. The purpose of “Dancing Raisins” is to demonstrate how carbon dioxide bubbels cause a change in an object’s density and buoyancy.…

    Gobstoppers Observation

    I absolutely loved observing the gobstoppers in water and how the colors created defined sections and eventually mixed in with the other colored gobstoppers. In this activity, the greatest breakthrough I had was our class discussion about accommodating the lesson for students who may have learning/behavior disabilities, vision or hearing impairments, or other forms of disabilities. A kindergarten physical science standard covers the topic of objects being sorted and described by their properties, such as color. Going into a kindergarten classroom this semester, I think the students would love observing and predicting what is going to happen with the colors and the gobstoppers themselves and would enjoy explaining what they see happening to…

    Borax Hypothesis

    • 5 Pages

    In our hypothesis we predicted that if borax is added to a laminated rubber-plastic composite it will strengthen it and the end product will have a higher puncture strength. From the data that we got by testing our plastic, it is maybe supported, but I cannot confidently say it is true judged by how weak our all data inclination is. The overall higher puncture strength is when we added 12 mL of borax to our laminated plastic. It may have been because borax is sticky substance and can cause the laminated plastic to bind more when more was added. Our data shows that when we added only 4 mL of borax it took around 7.96 Newtons of force to be able to puncture a hole all the way through the plastic.…

    The purpose of the bath bomb experiment was to examine the fizz by adding extra cornstarch to the bath bomb recipe will affect the overall outcome. If there is more cornstarch added to the bath bomb, then the bath bomb will be less fizzy because cornstarch acts as a dry filler that controls the reaction between baking soda and citric acid. The experiment calls for two different recipes. The first one was the normal recipe which blue was used as the coloring. The other recipe was the extra cornstarch recipe which red was used as the coloring.…

I would have my scientists work in groups and each group would have different pieces of metals. The students would use a chart to fill in which metals were attracted to the magnet and which were not. I would then ask the students to write a story together about the different metal pieces, making each piece of metal a different character. In the story the students must implement which metals did not attract to the magnets.…
