[edit] Do you like making slime? We do, here are some simple experiments of how to make some:

• Place 2 tablespoons of PVA glue in a zipper-type plastic bag and add an equal quantity of water.

• Add 1 or 2 drops of food colour, if you want.

• Add 1/2 teaspoon of saturated borax solution. (Borax can be bought in a pharmacy, or nag your science teacher to do this at school)

• Squeeze the bag to mix the contents

• When the slime has mostly formed , reach in and take out the slime. Don't be shy, it will not hurt you!

• Knead the slime to make it smooth.

• Voila! You have made your slime! It should be a bit like putty.

[edit] Cornflour slime

• Put some cornflour into a bowl and stir it around

• While stirring, add some water (a little at a time) until the cornflour is completely wet

• Add some food colouring into the bowl

• Add water and stir again until some slime forms

• Punch the top of the slime - it will feel hard

• Repeat this and when you remove your hand, it will be covered in slime
