While performing the slime lab, we were trying to find the effect of borax on glue and water. We mixed glue and water together and added small amounts of borax water to it. We wanted to find the difference in stretchiness with different amounts of borax. After adding the borax, we measured how far the slime could stretch. We hypothesized that the slime would stretch farther when more borax was added. Slime was developed in the beginning of the twentieth century during the time while synthetic polymers were being seriously studied. Slime is not the only polymeric toy that is manufactured and sold. There are many other toys similar to it being produced. While it is amusing for both children and adults, slime also helps develop dexterity and creativity. Although slime is nearly all the same, some companies change the color or add perfumes to remove the odor. …show more content…

Production for slime began in the 1930s. After the modeling clay lost popularity, they designed a new form that is known as silly putty in the 1950s. Silly putty continued to change and eventually turned into glow-in-the-dark silly putty. The glow-in-the-dark silly putty morphed into actual slime. The slime was made from several different ingredients such as fortified milk, polyvinyl alcohol, and guar gums. The results of the slime lab proved the statement that when more borax is added, the slime will stretch more. The stretchiness doubled whenever the amount of borax was doubled. We began by adding five drops of borax, and the slime stretched about 1.6 centimeters. We then added ten more drops, and the slime stretched an average of eight centimeters. After about 50 drops of borax, the slime would stretch nearly twenty centimeters. With our results, we concluded that when more borax was added, it would increase the stretchiness of the

Then I measured four milliliters of 4% Borax solution into a graduated cylinder and added it to the mixture. I then stirred it until it became slime. Finally, I poured it into my hands to feel its consistency and viscosity.

A slime mold is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but they can come together to form multicellular reproductive structures. They were originally classified as fungi but they are no longer considered part of that kingdom any more. The acraiceae have a common characteristic of all forming a simple fruiting structure from the emergence of a unicellular amoeboid stage followed by a multicellular pseudoplasmodial stage. Stalk cells and spores are differentiated from the cells that develop in the fruiting structure. Sorocarpic amoebae also referred to as cellular slime molds, are heterotrophic amoeboid organisms.
