Written by This experiment is about polymers and we will make slime to create one. Polymers are formed from long chains of molecules that keep repeating themselves. Here is an example of a polymer with repeating molecules connected together.
Slime is also a polymer.
Materials:
- Deep bowl
- White glue
- Shaving cream
- Food color
- Spoon
- Hand wash
Experiment:
In the bowl, add ½ cup glue, one spoon of shaving cream, one teaspoon hand wash, ½ cup water food color and mix well until you have slime.
Observation:
The polymer that is formed is rubbery and stretchy, if left to dry it becomes solid.
Conclusion: Slime is a polymer.
