Slime

Jill's Journal: The girls’ Aunt Wendi, Rob’s sister, sent them a book about science experiments not too long ago. It’s right up Erika’s alley. She has dutifully read the book and picked out a long list of experiments she would like to try. First on the list: slime. The two little girls are way too young for the book, but they happily joined in to make their own batch of slime. What they all plan to do with said slime, I hardly dare ask, but they sure had fun making it. Thanks, Wendi!

You can also use a 2:1 ratio of cornstarch and water to make Oobleck, a non-newtownian liquid that acts as a solid under high stress, or a liquid under low stress.

Cool, Gary -- we'll have to try that!
