Weird Science Weekend
Bianca is planning on doing a chemistry demo for Isaac's school this week. In prepping for the demo we did a test run of each experiment. The first was a fluorescein in water demo. The other was an awesome slime demo using Elmer's Glue and Borax.
First up the fluorescein demo.
Isaac was not awake for this demo, as it required complete darkness for the blacklight to work. I do think the kids will love this one as there was a lot of whirling and swirling going on.
The second demo, the slime demo, was something we could do during the day. Isaac was awake and totally enthralled. I was too. As you mix in the borax to the water glue mixture, the slime sort of congeals in your hand. It is stringy and goopey and Isaac loved it. Here we are making and playing with the slime:
We even did a like fake puking.
What a great way to have some fun with a little guy and another reason why smart chicks rock.
