How to make good slime with Landen and Zion



Hi, welcome to Zionce.





 Today we will be making slime with one of my best friends Landen. 



This slime is unlike others it takes a long time to dry out giving you more time to play with it, and it feels more stretchy than most of the slimes.

Here is what you will need:



  • 3/4 cup of cold water
  • 1 cup of liquid glue
  • food coloring (Any color)
  • 1 teaspoon of borax
  • 1/2 cup of hot water
  • 2 bowls

Instructions:




Step 1: In a bowl mix together the hot water, the liquid glue, and food coloring together.




Step 2: Mix borax and cold water in another bowl until the borax is completely dissolved.



Step 3: Slowly add glue mixture to borax mixture. Mix well until it is as squishy as you want it.

How the slime works: 



The slime is a liquid plymer. Molecules in glue are in strands, like a chain. When you add the borax it connects all the tiny chains.

My favorite part of slime is that it is squishy and flexible; I also like the fact that you can play with it.




Thanks for joining me and Landen on this experiment. Goodbye.

Bubble Palooza

                      Bubble Palooza
                                                    By Zion Busch

     Most Kids LOVE bubbles so I am putting science into bubble fun!
Welcome to Bubble Palooza. A whole lot of fun with just some bubbles and experiments! 

 Experiment 1:Making Bubbles


You will need: Some Dish soap, Some Water, 1 cup, And a Jar.



Step 1: Pour 1/2 of dish soap into the jar.



Step 2: Pour 5 cups of water into the jar.

We forgot to take a picture of us adding water.


Step 3: Stir the soap and water until mixed (Try not to stir up suds).



Step 4: Wait 2 days if you want but it is a better result if you do.

Step 5: Have Fun!


Experiment 2: Bubble Sock Launcher

You will need: An unwanted Sock, Food Coloring, Plastic Bottle, Scissors, and Bubbles in a Container.

Step 1: Cut off the bottom of the bottle.
Step 2:Stretch the sock all the way over so that the toe of the sock is tight against  the opening of the bottle.
Step 3: Pour 3 inches of bubbles in to the container.

Step 4: Dye the bubble solution by add several drops of food coloring (optional).


Step 5:Dip the bottom of the bottle (sock) into the bubbles


Step 6: Blow until you get a stream of bubbles coming out.


                             Have fun!

Fun Fact: Bubble are balls of air or gas in a liquid sphere. Suds are tiny bubble that are stuck in the film of the soap. I love bubbles and I hope to see you in the next experiment.
