Flubber
Over the years I have made many
different types of slimes or goo, using everything from corn starch to soap,
and this recipe, by far, takes the cake. My peers, my students and their
parents all LOVE this flubber!
We made this as a Science experiment
in Grade 2 and integrated it into an English lesson as part of our procedure
text-type writing.
What you need:
·
Elmers white
glue (I found this at Office Works)
·
Borax
(Bunnings)
·
Food
colouring/paint
·
Water
·
2 jars
with lids
·
2 bowls
·
1
measuring cup
Method:
1. Mix four cups of warm water in the bowl, with
¼ cup of Borax. Stir until dissolved.
2. In the first jar, mix one cup of glue with
one cup of water.
3. Add a few drops of food colouring or paint.
4. Shake well.
5. In the second bowl, pour one cup of the Borax
solution with ¼ of the glue solution. It instantly thickens.
6. Remove and knead.
7. Store in sealed container.
Enjoy!
