Hey guys! Welcome to this week's science experiment!
It's time for a Science Experiment!
This is what you're going to need for this week's science experiment!
Borax, measuring cup, 1 teaspoon,
stirring sticks, food coloring, glue and some plastic cups.
We're going to add one cup out water to our measuring cup.
Then we're going to take two teaspoons of the Borax and disolve it into the water.
Then grab one of your stirring sticks and stir it.
Now we're going to take our glue and pour all of it into our cup.
Get all four ounces in there.
Then we're going to take a food coloring and add that to the glue.
We're adding two drops of yellow and two drops of green.
Then we're going to take a new stirring stick, not the same one that you used earlier,
so that it doesn't solidifying, and mix your colors together in the glue.
Then just keep adding the colors that you want until you get it to the color that you like
by adding just a couple of drops at a time.
Right now we're adding one drop of green and one drop of yellow.
Good? Good. Now you want to take your glue stick out.
Rest it on a paper towel.
Then we're going to take our water and Borax solution, give it one more stir.
Then pour about half a cup
Then stir that together.
It doesn't matter which stick you use. This is weird.
On the internet they used eight ounces of glue?
We only have a quarter cup. Let's do it again.
The one on the bottom is better. Yeah.
Probably because it didn't get as much Borax. That looks pretty good to me.
Yeah, but not all if it is the same consistancy. That's the problem.
Some of it is real rubbery and some of it is real slimey. Yeah. That's not what we want.
Do you want to try one more? Yeah.
Much better.
You need to add a little more Borax.
OK. So I figured I would show you guys
the different consistencies the slimes came out to be.
This one here is the first one that we did.
Open it up. We can see that it's more solid
It doesn't stretch as much. It's almost like rubber.
It just breaks very easily.
The second one we made.
It has a little more pull to it then the first one.
But it's still pretty solid. I'm curious to see what happens if I just mix it up a little.
Still pretty solid.
This is the third one.
I can tell just from feeling the outside of the package that this one is the best.
It's sticking to it.
Definititly has more pull.
It's not as solid. It's more gummy in the hands.
I don't know if you remember Nickelodeon Gak. This is definitity what it is.
Also notice how I pulled two pieces off,
and it's easily forming back together just by me pushing the two pieces together.
The second one I try to push these together and
they are still two seperate pieces. I can see the lines where they are seperated.
This doesn't meld back together as much.
As much as this one did. This is great.
This is a fantastic consistancy here. You can put it in your nose and make it look like snot.
Hey guys! Welcome to this week's science experiment!
The third one came out the best. What we did a little different from the other two
is we mixed our water in Borax, but
whenever we went to pour it into the glue,
we just poured a very little bit at a time. We would stir it up, pour a little bit more, stir it up,
We probably used, maybe, a quarter to an eighth of Borax-water solution.
That's our slime experiment. This came our really great.
So if you want to make some slime for Halloween, that's how you do it.
Now let's go take a look at our Stalagtite experiment.
Here's the latest on this experiment. We've been seeing some growth here.
which is excellent. The water is starting to fall a little bit,
so I've got some water and we're going to top it off. I think another thing that I'm going to change this week, is I'm going to get rid
of this light. I've been using this light to illuminate this
so that I can capture a time-lapse shot here of
the stagtite that supposed to be growing yet, but nothing's happened yet.
So I'm going to take down the light. We're going to take down all this.
It's just going to be the two jars filled up with water and we're going to see how it grows.
As of recent, we've seen some great growth here. If you follow my vlogging channel,
YouTube.com/TheFunnyrats, you can see this experiment
every day and you can see the growth that's happening on a day-to-day basis
So here's the latest growth on one of them.
As you can see we're starting to get a little cone here towards the bottom.
So we notice that it's starting to fall down towards the string
which is really excellent to see. And you'll notice the same thing
is happening on the other side right here.
We are in good shape to eventually start seeing our stalagtite and
stalagmite form right here. So what we're going to do now is get rid of our light.
And we're going to take away the time-lapse shot.
Because nothing has happened.
And we'll see what happens here within the next week.
