We have affectionately named this busby butt slime because we have these cute bunny shaped eggs. It’s amazing all the great supplies you can find at the dollar store. Make sure to save them from year to year.
You can really use any of our basic slime recipes for this fun idea! We used none food coloring and white glue to pair with bright plastic eggs.
If you don’t like the vibrant neon colors and plastic eggs, go for the favorite pastel Easter colors instead. We found these pretty jewel tone eggs that work so nicely with our slime.
Now for something really different, check out our peeps slime for Easter! Completely taste safe and borax free, this slime is also a fun science activity using a classic Easter candy!
THE SCIENCE OF EASTER SLIME
We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! 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 slime science all about? 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…
You add the borate ions to the mixture, and it then 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 rubbery 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! Experiment with making the slime more or less viscous with varying amounts of foam beads. Can you change the density?
Did you know that slime aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)?
It does and you can use slime making to explore states of matter and its interactions. Find out more below…
