SLIME SCIENCE FOR FALL

We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here, and that’s perfect for exploring Chemistry with a fun fall theme. Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration and kids love it too! Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross-linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few of the science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!

What’s the science behind the slime? The borate ions in the slime activators (sodium borate, borax powder, or boric acid) mix with the PVA (polyvinyl-acetate) glue and forms this cool stretchy substance. This is called cross-linking!

The glue is a polymer and is made up of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another keeping the glue in a liquid state. Until…

When you add the borate ions to the mixture, it starts to connect these long strands together. They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and thicker and rubberier like slime! Slime is a polymer.

Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like the clump of spaghetti!

Is slime a liquid or solid? We call it a Non-newtonian fluid because it’s a little bit of both!

CINNAMON SLIME RECIPE

We made this slime scented recipe with white glue and real cinnamon spice. However, Elmer’s clear glue is super easy to use and also works well for this recipe but your color will be slightly different! You can always add glitter too!

YOU WILL NEED:

1/2 cup of Elmer’s White Glue
1/2 cup of water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-2 tbsps of cinnamon spice (alternatively you can use a drop or two of cinnamon fragrance oil for slimes and food coloring to achieve desired color)
1 tbsp of saline solution (see recommended slime supplies for brands)

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON SLIME

STEP 1: Add 1/2 cup of Elmers Glue to your bowl (add glitter if desired) and mix with a 1/2 cup of water.

STEP 2: Add cinnamon spice (or fragrance oil and food coloring).

STEP 3: Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda.

STEP 4: Mix in 1 tbsp saline solution and stir until slime forms and pulls away from sides of the bowl. This is exactly how much you will need with the Target Sensitive Eyes brand!

If your slime still feels too sticky, you may need a few more drops of saline solution. As I mentioned above, start by squirting a few drops of the solution onto your hands and kneading your slime longer. You can always add but you can’t take away. Saline solution is preferred over contact solution.

We always recommend kneading your slime well after mixing. Kneading the slime really helps to improve it’s consistency. The trick with saline solution slime is to squirt a few drops of solution onto your hands before picking up the slime.

You can knead the slime in the bowl before you pick it up as well. This slime is ultra stretchy but can be stickier. However, keep in mind that although adding more solution reduces the stickiness, it will create a stiffer slime.

Our slime recipes are so easy to change up with different themes for holidays, seasons, favorite characters, or special occasions. Saline solution is always super stretchy and makes for great sensory play, and science with the kids!
