MY SLIME=]

Okay, so I finally did my slime mini-project!
It was definitely a lot easier than I thought it would be, except that instead of liquid starch, I used borax powder which works just as well.
So this is what you need:
  • Glue (like Elmer's Glue)
  • Borax Powder
  • water
  • food coloring
  • spoons for mixing
  • tablespoons
  • cups


You first put the glue in a bowl, then add two tablespoons of water. At this point you have to dd your food coloring and stir. Then you add the Borax Powder, like one tablespoon, and stir some more. In a few seconds, you should have your slime ready, but before you play with it just yet, you have to put it in the refrigerator, still in the bowl, for a couple of hours.
The glue works as a polymer and enables the slime to be stretched and played with. The Borax Powder makes sure that the glue polymers are together, which allows us to play with it!
