How to Develop a Borax Slime Science Project Step 1. Topic You have your topic, which is: Making Slime Step 2. Research Research is learning about your topic. A good way to learn about slime is do an exploratory investigation about making slime. Exploratory Investigations: These are generally simple experiments performed for the specific purpose […]
Dilatant: Slime
Slime is a cross-linked polymer. A polymer is made of large molecules made of repeating units called monomers. A cross-linked polymer means that there are links connecting the molecules, much like the rungs in a ladder. The ladder diagram is similar to a cross-linked polymer only in the parts making it. The cross-linked polymer molecules […]
Moonshine
Q: Why is the Moon brighter at night than during the day? A: The Moon is more visible at night because the sky is darker. During the day there are stars in the sky but they are not visible because the Sun’s light makes the sky so bright. Notice how bright the stars look at […]
Polymer: Slime Facts
Elmers glue and other comparable school glues are polyvinyl adhesive (PVA). Slime is made by mixing PVA glue with a solution of borax. Slime is a polymer, which is a chemical consisting of large molecules made of a linked series of repeating units called monomers. The polymer slime produced is not as runny as the PVA glue […]
Polymer:Translucent Slime
Homemade Slime Recipe 1. In a small jar, make a Glue Solution by mixing 4-ounces (1/2 cup) of Elmer’s Glue Gel with 1/2 cup of tap water. Mix thoroughly. 2. In a second small jar, make a Borax Solution by mixing 1 teaspoon of Borax powder with 1 cup of tap water. Mix thoroughly. 3. […]
Atmosphere
Question: What is the atmosphere? Answer: Some planets, such as Earth and Venus have a layer of gas surrounding the planet, which is called the atmosphere. Earth’s atmosphere reaches out from Earth’s surface for over 350 miles (560 kilometers). The atmosphere diagram (left) represents the density of air in Earth’s atmosphere. The blue dots represent […]
Slime Glossary
The terms on this page relate to the physical and chemical characteristics of SLIME as well as other fluids with comparable characteristics. Dilatant fluid is rheopectic, which means sudden forces causes an increase in viscosity. Fluid is a term used for anything that can flow; gases, liquids, and non-Newtonian fluids. Newtonian fluid is a fluid […]
Starch Slime
Slime:Cornstarch and Water. MESSY?? You bet. FUN?? Absolutely 1. Pour 2 cups of corn starch into a large bowl. Tip: It is difficult to give an exact recipe for making cornstarch slime because humidity can be a factor. So, I have suggested that you start with a 2:1 ratio of corn starch to water. 2. […]
Waxing Moon vs. Waning Moon
Question: What does waxing and waning mean? Answer: The term waxing means to increase. The term waning means to decrease. Question: When viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, how can you determine if the moon is waxing or waning? The moon phases in the diagram show an increase in the lighted area from day 1 to […]
Glowing Slime
Fluorescent materials glow only during the time of exposure to ultraviolet light. In the photo, the glowing materials are absorbing ultraviolet light from a black light source. If the black light shining on the slime is shut off, the slime ceases to glow. You can make glowing homemade slime using the liquid in a fluorescent […]
