Wikijunior:Big Book of Fun Science Experiments/Slime

Do you like making slime? We do, here are some simple experiments of how to make some:

 * Place 2 tablespoons of PVA (polyvinyl acetate) glue in a zipper-type plastic bag and add an equal quantity of water.


 * Add 1 or 2 drops of food colour, if you want.


 * Add 1/2 teaspoon of saturated borax solution. (Borax can be bought in a pharmacy, or nag your science teacher to do this at school)


 * Squeeze the bag to mix the contents


 * When the slime has mostly formed, reach in and take out the slime. Don't be shy, it will not hurt you!


 * Knead the slime to make it smooth.


 * Puuuuuuurfect!!! You have made your slime! It should be a bit like putty.
