Description

3 ultimate kid safe slime recipe printables that are perfect for the classroom {No Borax or fabric softeners!} Use with the Engineering Design Process & included student recording sheets.

______________________________________

I recently hosted a slime booth at a district event and it WAS A HIT! I was making slime with kids ages 3-18 for 4 hours straight.

That’s why I am sharing these 3 slime recipes with you! Whether you are hosting a booth or trying them in your classroom, you’re going to have an amazing time with your kids!

______________________________________

Go through the Engineering Design Process with the following:

  • STEM Challenge Card
  • Prediction Sheet for different slime tests
  • Design Thinking Task Checklist to keep track of work
  • Learn More About Slime Video Links & Reflection
  • Slime Experiment Recording Sheet
  • End of experiment reflection sheet

You and your students will get to enjoy 3 slime recipes:

  • Unicorn Slime {glue, water, food coloring, glitter, saline solution}
  • Smoothie Slime {glue, water, food coloring, Tide laundry detergent}
  • Fluffy Slime {Crayola model magic air dry clay, lotion}

______________________________________

Recipes are written at smaller proportions to help save money on the cost of the ingredients and allow students to make their own slime batch. Add in a fun element with extra glitter, popping beads and other sensory objects!

______________________________________

Bonus Anchor Charts!

  • Solid, Liquid, Gas, Matter & Non-Newtonian Fluid Vocabulary
  • Engineering Design Process

______________________________________

Google Slide, Powerpoint, PDF and JPGs are included in this product to meet varying sharing needs. Directions for creating a Seesaw activity are also included.
