Slime Science

 

 

Making slime has proven to be extremely fascinating for kids and adults of all ages, but you might not be familiar with the basic slime science. This is great to share with kids who love slime because it’s an awesome learning opportunity already built into an incredibly fun hands-on activity.

 

WHAT IS SLIME?

Slime involves chemistry! Chemistry is all about states of matter including liquids, solids, and gases. It is all about the way different materials are put together, and how they are made up of atoms and molecules.

 

Additionally, chemistry is how these materials act under different conditions.

 

Slime is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is neither a liquid or a solid. It can be picked up like a solid, but it also will ooze like a liquid.  Slime does not have its own shape.

 

You will notice your slime change its shape to fill whatever container it’s placed in.  However, it can also be bounced like a ball because of its elasticity.
