FLUBBER!!!!!

Science is one of the most enjoyed subjects around this Academy.

So let's make some FLUBBER!!

Here's the recipe we used, adapted from a post on the fabulous Pinterest!

Mixture 1:

3/4 cup warm water

1 cup Elmer's glue

food coloring of choice

Mixture 2:

1 and 1/2 teaspoon Borax (found near the laundry detergent/bleach in stores)

1/2 cup warm water


Stir mixture 1 together in 1 bowl.

Mixture 2 in another bowl.

Make sure both are mixed well.

Pour mixture 1 into mixture 2.


****There is no need to stir the mixture, but you can if you want. It is the chemical reaction that actually makes the flubber. When it is in a glob work it for 2-3 minutes. Initially it feels wet but it eventually dry up to the final product.

LOOK WHAT THE PRINCE MADE:









The Prince continually used the phrase "chemical reaction" and couldn't wait to show his daddy after work. We kept it in a jar with a lid and it was still "workable" when the daddy arrived home.

Now go make yourself some FLUBBER :)
