Answers
Answer:
con flour slime balls
Explanation:
Pour half a box of cornflour into a bowl. Then gradually pour water over and mix until it looks and feels like custard.
Run your fingers through the liquid.
Now try and punch the mixture with your fist. What happens. When you run your fingers through it, it acts like a liquid.
Answer:
For the simplest of all slime recipes, all you need is cornstarch. Just dump some into a bowl, add some water, and start mixing. Keep adding water until it reaches the consistency you want (a good place to start is 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water). You can also add food coloring to make it look more legit.
This is a great little project you can do with kids to show them how certain compounds react to one another, like how the starch solidifies and then liquefies depending on the amount of movement. That is what we in the Dr. Seuss world like to call Oobleck (a non-Newtonian fluid). Check out the video below and this tutorial for more information.
If you want, you can also heat up the mixture to make it easier to combine. Once it cools, you can store it in air-tight containers for later.
