Hey guys! Shawn here for a special collab
video with my new friend Miranda Jones
from her channel Ms Jones which i will
link in the description box down below
so you can go and check out her super
cold channel. She does experiments,
science experiments, on her Channel and
then explains a faith-based component
afterwards. so today we will be making
slime like this right here that I just
made. and she will explain the science
behind the recipe and i will explain the
faith component. so if you're interested
in making slime keep watching.
Are you guys ready to make some
ooey gooey slime? it's really easy and is
made from products found around the
house.
hey guys1 so to make our slime mixture today
that we are going to make. you are going
to need a big mixing bowl, and eight
ounces of water, eight ounces regular
Elmers type glue, and only one tablespoon
of Borax... I think that's how you say it.
we're going to start by placing one
tablespoon of borax in one cup of water
and give it a good stir. and now you want
to add your liquid glue. and next you'll
add water .and you want the same amount
of water to glue. Fill the glue container back
up with water so you can get all the
glue out. and then put the lid back on and
shake it up. and then pour it back in the
bowl. I hope that got more glue out.t and now you want
to wash your hands because you don't
want dirt and grime getting all into
your brand new slime. thats right. and
this is also where you're going to add
your food coloring in. I don't know why
but i always think of green whenever I
think of slime so I'm gonna make mine
green. add some green food
coloring. so I'm gonna stick...slime is green in
my opinion. I feel like that's the traditional
slime color. Ready to get your hands dirty?
now I really want you to feel the glue.
you know it's kind of runny and it
easily... you can just move it all across
your hand. feels like thick water. now
slowly add your borax solution until
you get the right consistency.
look at that! right away you can just see
it. This is a weird feeling. So you want to
just pick up the glue.
it's a liquid and now it's more of a
solid. now if you put too much of the
borax solution in, it will become
more of a putty than a slime.
I feel like I'm not getting slime. I'm just getting a big clump.. maybe I
put too much Borax and not enough
time
needing. It's more of a putty than a slime
which is fine but we're not trying to
make putty today so just add a little
bit less borax. I"m having so much fun
with this!
now this is a pretty big difference from
the liquid glue that we are just playing
around with. now you can rip it apart. so
the important ingredient here is the
glue. now glue is thicker than water.
making a mess
okay so we got this bottle of water and
this bottle of glue. pour water and
glue in at the same time. it takes longer to
get out.
do you notice how much slower the glue
pores than the water? the glue is thicker.
you can even feel a difference between
the glue and the water when you feel
them and rub them around in your hand.
the glue is creamier and thicker than
the water and this has to do with
viscosity. viscosity is kind of like
stickiness. how thick and sticky a liquid
is. the stickier it is the more viscous
it is. now serum is very viscous because
it's thick and it pours very very slowly
but water has a lower viscosity. it's
less viscous and it pours very quickly.
so viscous just means thick and sticky.
with this glue i can move it all around.
move it all about. move anywhere I want.
this lime i can't .i can't just move a
little bit without moving the whole
thing and this is because of the borax.
the borax made the glue thicker and
stickier which is a lot more viscous. how
did the borax do that? well, when you mix
the water in with the borax you get
borate ions and that's actually where Borax
gets the name. what's important to
understand is that the glue is still liquid
and it can pour. but the slime, when the
borax is added into the glue, it makes a
bigger molecule and it makes it thicker.
so you can't pour this slime. all the
molecules act as one giant molecule
because they are sticking together. so
what does this experiment have to do
with something we can learn about
God? and i think the key is in the glue
and borax. the glue by itself is not
strong. you can pull it apart and it's
very messy and doesn't stick together
even though it is
glue .it doesn't stick together very
easily just kind of drips but when we
added the borax to the glue it
strengthen the glue so that became
harder to pull apart. and became a
substance that was much stronger than
the glue by itself. so i'm reminded of
the scripture verse in Philippians,
Philippians chapter 4 verse 13 which
says "I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me."and I think that by
ourselves we are not as strong as we
could be. but with God's help we can do
anything. we can accomplish anything in
our life because God gives us that
strength. we only have to ask for God's
help.
so if you are looking for an excellent
experiment to teach children or youth or
anybody that our lives are stronger with
God in them... make some slime .it's fun and
and it teaches a lesson. i hope you enjoyed this
because I sure did.
so go home and make some slime! thanks so
much for watching this video. guys I
cannot stop squishing this slime. It's so
much fun to squish and play with! if you
enjoyed this video please give Miranda
