Making Slime: An Exercise in the Scientific method
Students make a polymer but they won't be getting instructions. They'll get materials and they must figure it out on their own and report the actual steps needed back to the teacher.

Slime and Polymers
Learners participate in an experiment to demonstrate how mixing certain chemicals together can change the consistency of both chemicals. Glue, water, and borax are used to create a slime-like substance which is examined to determine how...
