Slime!

A sea of students filled the lab on Thursday lunch. Busy hands combined polyvinyl acetate polymer with sodium borate solution, along with a good dose of food colouring and produced some lovely slime. Depending on how much sodium borate was added, students discovered they could make more slippery, stretchy, gooey slime or stiffer, more putty, bouncy-ball type slime.

Students donated most of their slime for a fantastic cause – Prefects and Science Club students will be selling the slime on Friday Lunch to raise money for Deadly Science. So bring along a few dollars on Friday and help us to bring Science books to Indigenous students around Australia.
