Our SPOOKY SCIENCE LAB IS THIS FRIDAY!

Are you ready?!?!?

Activity #1Goblin GOO!

What is it?What is it?

The “goo” is actually a super cool mixture of water, Elmer’s glue or glue gel, and Borax laundry detergent.


How do I do it?How do I do it?

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??!!WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??!!

Glue has an ingredient called polyvinyl acetate, or a Glue has an ingredient called polyvinyl acetate, or a liquid polymer. The Borax links all the polyvinyl acetate liquid polymer. The Borax links all the polyvinyl acetate molecules to each other, creating one large, flexible molecules to each other, creating one large, flexible polymer. This kind of slime will get stiffer and more like polymer. This kind of slime will get stiffer and more like putty the more you play with it.putty the more you play with it.

What is a polymer? It is a really long line of molecules What is a polymer? It is a really long line of molecules that are joined together in a special way. Some are that are joined together in a special way. Some are flexible, like the bottom of your P.E. shoes. Others are flexible, like the bottom of your P.E. shoes. Others are hard, like the plastic bowl and spoon we use in our hard, like the plastic bowl and spoon we use in our experiment.experiment.

2.2.It is solid It is solid CARBON DIOXIDE CARBON DIOXIDE that is frozen at a that is frozen at a temperature of -109.3 F!temperature of -109.3 F!

3.3.Dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates.Dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates.

4.4.Sublimation means the solid never melts into a Sublimation means the solid never melts into a liquid. It changes from a solid straight into a gas. liquid. It changes from a solid straight into a gas. That’s why it’s called That’s why it’s called drydry ice! ice!


What Is Dry Ice Used For Besides Keeping Things REALLY COLD?

3.3.Shipping medical specimensShipping medical specimens

4.4.It is the only substance cold enough to keep It is the only substance cold enough to keep DIPPING DOTS from melting since they are made DIPPING DOTS from melting since they are made from liquid nitrogen!from liquid nitrogen!

5.5.CARBONATING and COOLING DRINKS LIKE CARBONATING and COOLING DRINKS LIKE HAWAIIAN PUNCH in our AWESOME LAB!!!HAWAIIAN PUNCH in our AWESOME LAB!!!


1. You will get a cup of punch with a small piece of dry ice in it.

2. DO NOT DRINK IT! Observe what happens.

3. When the CO2 has completely sublimated, your teacher will give you permission to drink your punch.

4. If you drink it before your teacher tells you to, you could damage your mouth and tongue due to the extremely cold temperature of the dry ice.


Once your teacher sees that your dry ice has completely sublimated, your punch will not only be safe to drink, it will also be slightly carbonated, or bubbly. . .and very, very cold!

Spooky Fun with Static

Electricity

Teacher Demonstration

is Now!

Activity #3Static Electricity

Ghosts!How Does It Work?

When you rub the balloon through your hair, invisible electrons (with a negative charge) build up on the surface of the balloon. The electrons have the power to pull very light objects (with a positive charge) toward them—in this case, the little ghost!
