Contact Solution Slime

This activity is ideal for middle school students and elementary school students with adult assistance!

This activity is a great way to introduce your student to chemical reactions! By adding contact solution to glue, you'll create slime, a non-Newtonian fluid which defies the laws of classical physics!

Materials:

* bowl

* clear glue

* water

* baking soda

* contact lens solution

* liquid colors

* any items or add-ins you'd like to mix in

Directions: Pour 1 cup clear glue, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp baking soda into the bowl. Mix it up!

Add 1-2 drops of liquid color into the bowl. Mix it up!

Add 2 tbsp of contact solution. Mix until the slime begins to thicken.

Use your hands to knead the slime until it becomes firm. Add a little more contact solution if it’s super sticky.

Enjoy your slime! Add in clay or beads or whatever other items you'd like to give it a fun texture!
