To begin the project, students researched various slime recipes, exploring options such as PVC slime, washable glue slime, and gak. Gathering the necessary ingredients, they initiated preliminary tests to assess the physical properties of these diverse concoctions.
These initial experiments laid the groundwork for the students’ journey, enabling them to identify potential areas for improvement and select the ideal combination of water, glue, and borax to achieve their desired properties. The project’s overarching objective was to develop an outstanding slime product that would captivate children while showcasing the potent force of scientific innovation.
In alignment with their commitment to environmental responsibility, the Grade 9 students also conducted a comprehensive risk analysis. This examination encompassed an evaluation of the potential environmental impact of their proposed laboratory design, ensuring that the slimes did not harm our planet.
The enjoyable project allowed students to dive into the realms of science and put their creative problem-solving skills to the test while deepening their understanding of complex concepts.
