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.

In this chemistry worksheet, learners make slime by following the directions given. Students read the 6 steps to complete the slime process and follow them.

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...

Learners examine and determine properties of polymers. They explore basic concepts of polymer chemistry and work in groups to produce a polymer, slime. In addition, they list examples of every day polymers and their benefits.

Need some support or ideas of how to entertain middle schoolers or what clubs to bring into your school?  Let this excellent 40-page resource guide with links and step-by-step directions on STEM activities guide your decision.

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...

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

Students predict, observe and draw conclusions while working on an experiment with "slime." Students accurately record observations and draw conclusions about the experiment.

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...

Pupils 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.
