Kieron made this homemade slime, yesterday — it’s unusual for us to do project-based learning so I photo’d the whole procedure, happily feeling just a bit like Theresa:
He puts in the glue:
He has laid out the instruction sheet and all the supplies ahead of time, which is nice — I didn’t teach him to do that:
Adds some food coloring and stirs:
Paddy wants me to pay attention to him for a moment:
Adds the Borax and water:
Slime!
You knead it and squeeze out the excess water in order to make the consistency firmer.
The finished slime, which feels a bit like Silly Putty (Kieron compared it)
Paddy gets a bit to play with:
The version of the project we used came from the Young Scientist’s Club — this costs a bit of money per month but has been nice because it comes with all the supplies, and the instructions are nicely laid out — he can follow them easily himself.
