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.

Who's going to get slimed? Your entire class! Scholars create slime using Borax, water, and white glue. Some food coloring can give the slime a bit of color.

It's a polymer, a non-Newtonian fluid—it's slime! Super scientists use Borax, glue, and food coloring to make a sticky and liquid substance. 

Students make slime. In 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...

Banana slugs eat animal droppings and leaves, all while generating waste that acts as a fertilizer. The video explains the slug's role in the ecosystem. It highlights the benefits of the slime for slugs' movement, food source, and even...

Can you name an organism that isn't a plant, animal, or fungus? Here's a hint: each cell contains thousands of nuclei. Slime mold may not have any appendages, but their movements fascinate scientists. The video focuses on these unique...

Students identify that nature polymers like alginate from seaweed and that sodium alginate plus ions creates a slime that they can actually eat. They also identify and interpret that when sodium alginate and calcium acetate when water...

Let knowledge of polymers and slime ooze into one's brain. Scholars learn about polymers and cross-linking by conducting a fun hands-on activity. They create their own colorful slime by mixing a borax solution and a glue solution.

Students compare slime recipes. In this properties of matter instructional activity, students make Oobleck and glurch and compare the properties of each and examine the solid and liquid properties of them.

Students explore change in physical properties of polymer as result of cross-linking. Students consider result of adding more cross-linking agents to polymer, view model of cross-linking, and complete monomer identification.
