Halloween Slime

So Friday was Halloween and to celebrate it "educational" I had my students make slime. They absolutely loved it and they actually saw how making it was related to chemistry. We used the bunsen burners to boil our water, then added borax, water, glue and food coloring to make it slimey. I wish I had pictures to post of them creating it, but I forgot my camera that day :(! After we got all cleaned up from a slimey mess, we passed around different halloween treats and determined whether they were heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures. I felt this was a great way to have fun for halloween, as well as, conduct a lesson relating to chemistry!
