MOMMMM!! Can we make slime?? Pleeeease!! If you have younger kids, you’ve probably heard this once or twice (or 3,037 times). My reaction: ugh. Making slime isn’t always the cleanest activity and after many a slime “fail”, the kids were often let down. BUT making slime is a great STEM activity to teach kids about physics and chemistry concepts (check out our science behind slime experiment). This guide will not only teach you how to make slime at home, it will walk through how to make slime step by step with recipes we’ve tested. Let’s science!

Slime might make a mess, but did you know that slime makes a perfect science fair project?!? Not only can you test various chemistry and physics hypotheses, your kids can also have fun and finish it IN JUST A WEEKEND!! For all those parents out there frantically heading into the last days/hours before the science fair, this is your winner! Our slime science project outlined below walks you through the potential setup from start to finish. It’s one of many!! While you could get adventurous and try working with more elaborate slime recipes (e.g. magnetic slime, glow slime), even our basic recipe can get you a cool slime science project addressing all the requirements of any science fair. Let’s science!
