Buddy Time!

This past week our classroom had big buddy time with the 8th graders! It was so fun! We made homemade silly putty and had a bit of a chemistry lesson.

First you mix 2 oz of glue with 2 oz of water.

Stir realllll good!

In another cup mix 4 oz of warm water with 1 tsp of borax (laundry detergent I found at target)

Stir reaaalllllyyyy good!

Pour them together and immediately a reaction called polymerization occurs.....a solid forms! This solid is silly putty! Students need to mix the 2 solutions together and scoop out the solids.

EWWWWW it's messy!

Nice silly putty!

Not only did we spend time with our buddies, we created something fun together and had a great time doing it!
