Mixtures!

We are learning about mixtures in science! A mixture is a combination two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. 

In order to have the concept stick, we are doing experiments - so we made flubber today!!  Flubber is a mixture of water (both hot and cold), classroom glue (Elmer's), and borax (which is found in the laundry detergent section for an extremely affordable price!).

I am including the website link for Flubber so if you need a fun weekend/summer/after school activity, you can make it at home :)

Have fun mixing!
