Experiment
- Weigh the glue: Tare a clear cup on the scale and measure 30 grams of glue into it.
- Measure the baking soda: Tare a weighing boat on the scale and measure about 4 grams of baking soda.
- Combine water and glue: Measure about 20 milliliters of deionized water using the graduated cylinder. Pour this into the cup with glue and mix using the stirring rod.
- Color the slime: Add two drops of food coloring and mix well to distribute evenly.
- Add the baking soda: Pour the baking soda into the cup and mix again.
- Add the multi-purpose solution: Measure 10 milliliters using the graduated cylinder and pour into the cup.
- Form slime: Stir the contents until they clump together, forming slime. Continue mixing until the composition is uniform.
- Optional adjustments: Add small or large increments of water, baking soda, glue, or multi-purpose solution. Add shaving cream for a fluffier texture.
