MAKE YOUR OWN SLIME
We will need:
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/4 cup of white craft glue
• 1/4 cup of liquid starch
• Food colouring (optional)
• Mixing bowl
• Mixing spoon
What to do:
• Pour all of the glue into the mixing bowl.
• Pour all of the water to the mixing bowl with the glue.
• Stir the glue and water together.
• Add your food colour now - about 6 drops should do it.
• Now add the liquid starch and stir it in.
It should be nice and blobby by
now.
The glue is a liquid polymer.
This means that the tiny molecules in the glue
are in strands like a chain.
When you add the liquid starch, the strands of
the polymer glue hold together, giving it its slimy feel.
The starch acts as a
cross-linker that links all the polymer strands together.
