For the next couple of weeks we will be studying the different states of matter. Today we learned about liquids by creating a liquid that seems like a solid.
The kids were really intrigued by our experiment, so I told them I would put the instructions here for you to try.
Goo
Solution A
1 cup water
1 cup white glue
Solution B
1 1/3 cup warm water
4 TBS borax
Pour solution A into Solution B and knead 4-5 times. When you pull your goo out of the water it will be really slimy. It will become more firm as it sets.
Ask your first grader why this solution is a liquid and not a solid!
