Sometimes when we mix solids and liquids we get strange results… like slime! We made a huge mess making our own slime. Try it yourself using our method:

1. Put 2 mugs of cornflour into the bowl.

2. Add half a mug of water to the cornflour.

3. Add in a few drops of food colouring, just for fun!

4. Stir the mixture in the bowl very, very slowly with a spoon.

5. Try to make a ball using pressure, and then stop to see the slime in action.

6. Pour mixture onto a tray and hit hard with your hand, the molecules will link to form a solid.
