Using BORAX, we made a bouncy ball today......
Two cups, borax solution and ball mixture

We mixed borax and warm water for the borax solution
Then added food coloring....

Then a tablespoon of glue to the ball cup
and to the glue we added a little bit of borax solution and cornstarch, and let it sit

Then begin stirring, once you can't stir any longer, take it out and use your hands....

Now its supposed to bounce......however, ours did not.
We are going to try again another time and see what the problem is. Maybe look for a different site for the instructions. Here is the site we used. |
Thanks for your kind comment. The LEA visit went very well thank you.She said that we were committed to home educating our children, and that we enjoyed doing it.
Also I have just typed a post about bullying, which I would really appreciate comments on if possible.
