Chemical Reaction Science Lab

This is one of my FAVORITE science labs...the chemical reaction experiment!


We started off with some Elmer's glue, water, and food coloring.


We had a bowl full of watery glue. 


Next, we added some Borax/water solution...and look...it turned into a brand new substance!






After much kneading in the bag, it was ready to come out and play:) 



They rolled it...


...and bounced it...




...and squished it like crazy!



This brought me so much joy...throughout science, I heard the kids say, "This is the coolest class ever!" and "Aaaawesome!!" Hopefully after today, they will remember the difference between physical change and chemical change:)
