More Science!

Today, I tried another experiment. It didn't really work but I can explain what was meant to happen.

So I made a slime out of hand soap and sugar. You can put it in the fridge for 2 days or the freezer for an hour. But when I put it into the freezer it just went all clumpy and icy and did not turn out well. But that's okay!

I have explained what chemical and physical change is in my last post but I can explain it again. Physical change is when a substance changes its form but is still the same substance it was before. Chemical change is when it changes completely. Slime is a chemical change because it changes into a whole other substance. Those are called, Changes in Matter!

Have you ever heard of solids and liquids? A solid is something that is firm and stable in shape. And a liquid is something that can change its form to any shape.
For an example, If you pour water into a glass, it can change its form to fit into the glass. But a solid stays the same shape and form. Slime is special. It is both a solid and a liquid. Slime is a solid because it can keep its shape but can also change its from to fit anything you put it in. This is called States of Matter!

I hope you learnt something on this post. Thank you and Stay Safe!

  1. Hi Tweeny.
    Great explanation about the states of matter. I found it easy to understand and informative.
    It's a shame your slime didn't turn out the way you hoped.
    Thanks for sharing.

    1. Hi Mrs Bowman, I am thrilled that you decided to comment on my blog. I'm glad you liked it! And even though it didn't work, I didn't waste the soap. I put it back into the bottle. Thanks!

  2. Aloha Tweeny!

    I really liked your blog posts because it has a lot of information that is needed and nothing is unnecessary. I like how you explained everything and you didn't need any photos for it either. I hope that if you make slime another time it will be more succesful!

    Fantastic job Tweeny, hope you have a great week and post another science experiment on Friday!<3
