Aim:  I want to find out how to make fluffy slime

Equipment:

  • School glue 50ml
  • Borax 15g
  • Food colourig 1 ml
  • water 30ml
  • 1 bowl 30cm diameter
  • 1 250 ml cup
  • and 250ml shaving cream (foam)


Method:

  1. add 30 ml of  water to the cup
  2. add 15g of borax to the water
  3. add 50mL of school glue 
  4. 250ml of shaving foam 
  5. mixes it together
  6. pour the borax in very slowly at a time and mix until it makes slime 
  7. take the slime out of the bowl and add a drop of food colouring knead it into the slime

















<- not mine



My process in making the slime wasent as effective  as i thought it could of been first of all I added to much borax and way to much shaving cream



<- as you can see my slime just turned to a big ball of marshmellow

















<- started like this














<- ended like this














so as you can see my slime did not become  what I excpected. We did try rolling it so the heat would evaparate the water. It started to work, it just didnt stick or stretch.

What i would like to improve it less Borax and make more small batches so if somthing when wrong I could see what happened.

  1. In Year 12 Chemistry, we look at how alkenes can be used to make different polymers (plastic). What is an alkene? What is polymerisation?
    In Yr13, we look at and make a polymer called NYLON. What is nylon?
    Some plastics can breakdown when a drop of acid gets on them. This is called hydrolysis. What is hydrolysis?

    1. a hydrolysis reaction is when the bonds in a molecule are broken down when the molecule reacts with water
