April 19, 2011

Sorry for missing a few days here - I've been busy with meetings for the last little while. I'll try to be more on target after this!

We had lots of fun with our Flubber science activity yesterday. The students used it to create everything from bracelets to bird nests to 3 metre long snakes to fake mustaches - some fun! (I'm constantly impressed with the creative powers of this group!)

I promised the class I'd include the Flubber recipe on the blog, so here it is, complete with metric conversions, no less!


You'll need two containers. Put the following into container #1: one and a half cups (350 ml) of warm water, two cups (475 ml) of white glue, and several drops of food colouring.

Next, mix three teaspoons (15 ml) of Borax with one and a third cups (300 ml) warm water in a second container.

Now pour the contents of container # 2 into the first container. Knead the mixture. Enjoy!


Just a reminder that school is closed this Friday for the Good Friday holiday.
