Just the Basics- Polymerization SLIMES AND FLUBBER
Supplies: Borax
, Food Coloring
Optional: Liquid starch to replace borax
Equipment: Bowls, spoons, baking tray
Optional: airtight container for storage
Directions:
Borax Solution: Use hot water to dissolve 1T of borax per 1 cup of water.
Add it slowly while stirring, use gloves or wash you hands- straight borax
can be irritating to your skin.
White Glue Solution: mix equal parts water and glue add food color and
mix together.
Clear Glue Solution: this glue works without added water, adding color
and even glitter to this works great.
Mixing: Add the Borax solution to the glue one tablespoon at a time stirring
in a ball, you will likely have water left in the bowl as you mix. The
polymers need to be mixed and kneaded in to a ball to come together.
Other Variables:
Using Liquid Starch in place of the borax solution.
Changing the amount of water added to the glue solution.
Evaluating the elastic nature by stretching and recording the lengths .
REAL SCIENCE:
Measure out the chemicals and record how much you use and how much
water you add to the glue and record your results.
