Sticky or stiff

For my project we are going to get the same amount of glue in three bowls and use the same amount of different activators in each bowl and we will see witch one is the most sticky the most rubbery and the slime in the middle

Hypothesis

If we use three different activators we think that some slimes will be stickier or some will be more rippy and some will be in the middle which normal slime should be like. We think this because Not all activators are the same and some react differently, since some are weaker and some are stronger. We think that the weaker activators will make the slime a bit sticky and the stronger activator will make stiffer slime.

  

Research

To make slime you need to put some glue in a bowl and then add activator like tide,liquid starch,saline solution which are the ones we used.Then you mix it together and it makes this slime kind of a  gooey texture. But you have to make sure you don't add too much activator because it will be rippy and if you don't add enough activator  it will become to sticky so you have to do your measurements correctly otherwise it can turn out to not be slime at all.The slime is made with non toxic ingredients to make sure it is safe to play with.There are many different types of slime the one we are going to be making is plane white glue slime.We will not be adding any charms colors scents or glitter as that may affect and results to how sticky it is.Now we will talk about how slime was created and what year is was made and who made it.Mattel toys created slime february 1976.When they made is it consisted of a non toxic squishy gooey green substance.Mattel toys created slime february 1976.When they made is it consisted of a non toxic squishy gooey green substance.There are many different types of slime the one we are going to be making is plane white glue slime.We will not be adding any charms colors scents or glitter as that may affect and results to how sticky it is.Now we will talk about how slime was created and what year is was made and who made it.Mattel toys created slime february 1976.When they made is it consisted of a non toxic squishy gooey green substance.Mattel toys created slime february 1976.When they made is it consisted of a non toxic squishy gooey green substance.

Variables

The thing we will be changing is the type of activator. We think that the stickiness will affected if we changed the activator. We have to make sure that we keep all the measurements the same and make sure that the same amount of activator is the same and as well as the glue.

Procedure

1: Put one cup of glue in each bowl                           

 2:Add 4 tablespoons of activator to each bowl

3:Mix each one until the activator is fully mixed in 

4:Stick the slime to my hand

5:wait for the slime to fall

6:see how long it took to fall off

7:write down the data

 

 

Observations

Well i was testing the saline solution slime was taking longer to mix than the borax was. After one night the borax slime was still put together but the saline solution slime had a really foggy and weird liquid on top but the glue under the liquid was still slime so i mixed it together and it took 5 minutes to mix together. The liquid starch slime was a lot stronger than i thought it activated a lot faster.

Analysis

We found out that borax was stronger than everything else because the borax took the least amount of borax to make the slime were the saline solution took a lot of it.So that means that that in order the borax is the strongest and the liquid starch would be in second and then saline solution took the least amount of activator.

 

Conclusion

Our hypothesis was correct because we thought that there would be different stretchiness or stiffness and we were correct the borax slimes were more on the stiff side but the liquid starch were more on the stretchy side so because of all that data are hypothesis was correct.

Application

It is useful to the world beacause it showws us how different activators are stronger than others. It also helps because slime is easy to make and it also helps with people whop have stress since slime is something fun to play with.

Sources Of Error

 

When i was testing none of the glue turned to slime with my measurements so i decided to change it to how much activator does it take to make slime and the tide was not activating no matter how much tide i added so i switched it for borax.
