Slime
Procedure
- Measure 2 tsp. of polyvinyl alcohol polymer solution into a cup.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of Borax solution. Mix well with a wooden stick.
PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS FOR THIS EXPERIMENT:
- 4% Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH) Solution
Dissolve 40 grams of PVOH powder in 900 ml of distilled water.
Heat gently for several hours until dissolved (solution turns clear).
Make sure the solution does not boil, or the properties will be altered.
Dilute to 1 liter with more water.
The prepared solution should be clear and somewhat viscous. It stores well in the refrigerator until needed.
- 4% Sodium Borate, Na2B4O7 * 10 H2O, Solution
Dissolve 10 grams of sodium borate in 250 ml of distilled water.
You can obtain Borax at the grocery store near the laundry detergent.
