Slime

A student holds up her slime during a slime engineering activity

Grades 1-2

Overview

Is slime a solid, a liquid, or something in between? Students consider the differences between these states of matter and discuss their properties, creating a working definition. The young chemists measure and mix liquids, categorize the slimy results, and get to take their colorful concoctions home.
