Whether you call it slime, flubber, oobleck, goo, goop, gak, gunk, ooze, putty, or play dough, we are talking about gooey, homemade polymers that can provide both hours of fun and an introduction to chemistry.<\/p>\n

About Chemistry: Slime Recipes

Anne Marie Helmenstine, PhD is About.com’s chemistry guide, but you don’t need a PhD to follow her recipes for a bouncing polymer ball, electroactive slime, fake snot (eww!), Metamucil flubber, or glow-in-the-dark slime. I was fascinated by her illustrated Floam recipe. “Floam is like slime with polystyrene beads in it, that kids can mold into shapes. You can sculpt with it or use it to coat other objects. You can store it to reuse it or allow it to dry, if you want permanent creations.”<\/p>\n

Bizarre Labs: The Page that Dripped Slime

Non-Newtonian fluids sometimes behave like liquids and sometimes like solids, thereby defying easy categorization. Quicksand, gelatin, and ketchup are a few examples of non-Newtonian fluids. So is the slime recipe presented here, along with explanations of some of the science principles at work. “The thing that makes this particular slime work is the bonding of polyvinylacetate (PVAC) molecules by the Borax (sodium tetraborate). The molecules (polymers) are long to begin with, and they are tangled, which is why the glue is so viscous.” <\/p>\n

Cooks.com: Recipes: Slime

Normally I visit Cooks.com for dinner recipes, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they also house dozens of recipes for slime, silly putty, goop, and play dough. Simply use the search box to find them. Most of these slime and putty recipes are just for play, but you will find edible treats (such as Green Slime made with lime Jello, lemon pudding, evaporated milk and soda crackers) hiding among the craft recipes.<\/p>\n
