Slime
Science Set
(Polymers)
 |
Slime science is a beginner
level chemistry/ material science project that introduces
students to some chemicals, including synthetic and natural
polymers (Gums) allowing them to change the properties of
certain polymers and make new and interesting products such as
soft slime, Flip-Flop Slime, Power Putty, Glooze, Wiggly Wonder.
Good for those who like chemicals.
It is exciting for students to see
how two liquids can mix and form a slimy or rubbery substance.
Warning: This
project requires adult support and supervision. Preparation of materials
in most cases must be done by an educated adult. It will take about 2
hours to prepare the materials.
