Curated OER
Make Slime
Students make slime. For this chemical reaction lesson, student use Borax to make a gel like solution. Students add all ingredients listed, add food coloring, and mix well. Students see first hand how chemicals react together and create...
Curated OER
Sensational Slime
Students mix solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and borax. They predict what happen and record their observations. They prepare a T-chart comparing Jell-o to their mixture.
Curated OER
Slime!
Students participate in a science experiment in which they try and move gelatin cubes with and without a lubricant. They examine the concept of friction and resistance to motion.
Curated OER
Cool Activities: Make Slime
Students analyze chemistry by conducting an in-class experiment. In this slime lesson, students discuss what slime is and what form of matter it qualifies as. Students utilize borax, glue, water, cups, food coloring and plastic bags to...
Curated OER
Sensational Slime
Students predict, observe and draw conclusions while working on an experiment with "slime." Students accurately record observations and draw conclusions about the experiment.
Curated OER
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...
Curated OER
Polymerization Experiments
Students study the concepts of polymerization and the function of crosslinkage. In this polymer lesson students complete a lab activity and write down their observations.
Curated OER
Identify the Controls and Variables
In this experiment worksheet, students read over examples of different experiments and identify the control group, and independent and dependent variables. This worksheet has 20 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Controls and Variables
In this scientific methods worksheet, learners identify the control group, independent variables, and dependent variables in 4 different experiment descriptions.
Curated OER
The Nature and Science of Technology
Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold. In this bacteria instructional activity, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal. Students create an...
Curated OER
Scientific Method
In this Scientific Method worksheet, students identify controls and variables given hypothetical situations taking place in Bikini Bottom. Students draw conclusions form the information they gathered in the experiments.
Curated OER
Polymers all Over the Place
Students investigate properties of common molecules. In this chemistry lesson, students construct polymer models to gain a better understanding of the properties of polymers.
