Science Fun

Kids love science experiments and they love bouncy balls. I found this super easy science experiment that makes bouncy balls on the36thaveune.com web site. I recommend using disposable cups and plastic utensils to throw out after you are done making the balls.
You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Warm Water
1 Tb Borax
1 Tb of Cornstarch
2 Tb White Liquid Glue
Food coloring
Disposable Cups
Plastic Spoons and Forks
Disposable Gloves, Optional
What to Do:
1. In a cup mix the warm water and the borax.
2. In another cup mix the glue, cornstarch, and food coloring.
3. Pour the glue mixture into the water-borax cup.
4. Allow to sit for 10 seconds. Mix with plastic spoon or fork. Pull it out of cup with a plastic fork. If the glue mixture is still sticky, squish it with your hands and dip it back in the water.
5. Roll the mixture in your hands to make a ball. The more you handle the mixture the firmer it will become.
