Teacher comments and suggestions for this activity:
Note: we suggest you do this activity before Extreme Makeover-Ugly Edition so the kids can really brainstorm.
IT WAS REPULSIVE, GROSS AND A PERFECT SCIENCE ACTIVITY.
My kids love all of it. The fun sheet is a must.
You don't need to make copies of the fact sheet for the activity. Just have a few facts to share with the kids.
Have paper towels available to wipe hands after, if your classroom doesn't have a sink.
If more than one class is using the slime, you might want to have kids wash their hands before playing with the slime.
