An easy and fun way to teach about polymers and cross linking.

Description

Everyone enjoys making slime! Slime is such a fun way to teach about polymers and cross linking. This kit comes with everything you need to make 32 two-ounce (64 ml) batches of perfect, gooey slime: 2 liters of green 4% polyvinyl alcohol, enough sodium tetraborate solution to cross-link with it, 32 mixing cups with storage lids, 32 measuring cups, 2 measuring beakers, 32 stirring sticks, instructions, and an activity guide. A preservative has been added to avoid the growth of unwanted creatures. Aside from how awesome slime is, it's also a fascinating non-Newtonian fluid! If pulled slowly, it flows... if pulled quickly, it breaks... and if rolled into a ball, it bounces! For ages 6+.

IMPORTANT COLD WEATHER SHIPPING: Our slime making chemicals can be affected if they are left out in sub-freezing temperatures. Please choose a shipping location that can accept your order when it arrives.

Not Enough Borax

Mix well but not enough borax. I order 6 cases and somehow did not get the right amount of borax.

Great for any age!

I used this for science summer camp. There was enough in the kit for more than 40 scientists! I had to get more cups for the second group, and I still have both solutions left over. It works well as a shake and mix, as well as a stir it with a stick, solution. The three-year-olds and the ten-year-olds enjoyed the experiment equally. The only problem I have ever had is with the scientist using the pipette as a tool for stirring and getting it clogged.

This is a good kit for the instructors to show how to make slime. It does come out perfectly. I love it.

NGSS

This product will support your students' understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*, as shown in the table below.

Elementary Middle School High School

2-PS1-1

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit to plan and conduct investigations to describe and classify kinds of materials by their observable properties.

5-PS1-3

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit to make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

MS-PS1-2

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit to analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

MS-PS1-5

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit as a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.

HS-PS1-7

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit to construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

HS-PS1-4

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit to develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in the total bond energy.

HS-PS1-7

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit and then take it to a mathematical lesson to support the claim that atoms and mass are conserved during the chemical reaction.

Suggested Science Idea(s)

HS-PS1-7

While using the pre-measured chemicals in the kit, students experience an introductory lesson to plastics and polymers.

2-PS1-1
5-PS1-3

Students can use the Classroom Slime Kit while making observations of many different materials based on their properties.
