Rattle and squeeze your glue bottle; zilch will come, and then it will flow full throttle. Need some more hints? Ask yourself what is motley, glitters at night, and can give you more than a few exciting recipes to experiment with. Imagine everything falling in place serendipitously just in time for your science project.
Doesn’t look like grim
Is it fluid matter? Or solid? Shaping your future, slime glue comes to your rescue when your school science project is almost due. Just show your peers with some of the material in your hand that it is a special substance that can stretch beyond your wildest dreams. Tell them how it works and why it is also known as a non-Newtonian fluid in scientific terms. Talk about what shear thinning and thickening fluids are. Make sure to describe the substance you are talking about with the popular example of quicksand, comparing it with your favorite glue. Alternatively, make them stretch the glue and determine for themselves what kind of material it is. Ask them if they are able to get a hang of what the substance you are talking about is.
Let your project take shape
Quickly sum up whatever you have been taught in class already. Ask your classmates how they would classify the substance. Even after your demonstrations and deliberations with them, some may not be able to come up with the right answers. Make sure to encourage your friends to work on the right answers. Maybe you can hand out certain materials to better make them understand what the challenge is all about. Especially since such substances are way beyond the scope of comprehension, you should give your peers some time to process the information that should lead them to the clues hidden within your science project. Oh! And remember to remind them to wash their hands thoroughly before and after using the glue. Make your science project work wonders for your classmates, who must already be feeling bewildered by each and every one of your demonstrations.
Set up the stage for more
Make your peers explore the true nature of the matter that you just presented to them. Just in case they are still unable to come up with some answers, keep dropping tiny hints at them. Ask them to make their own glue craftworks with a little help from their friends. Maybe they will eventually come up with the right answer. Let them experiment with the substance till they can read between the lines of the info sheets that you have given them. Don’t forget to tell them that the substance can easily be affected when subject to some continuous pressure. Be as subtle as possible when it comes to hinting at them because they are eventually bound to come up with the correct answer, which is viscoelastic. As you squeeze your glue bottle, demonstrate how you can play with it till you arrive at the right answers. Teach them how to go about determining its true nature through a few exciting experiments of your own and leave them spellbound.
