My Project

This has been a unique year for a unique chemistry class. I have been blessed with the opportunity to focus on a single, 30 student cohort, of chemistry sophomore students. As a result, we have been able to go through experiences, explorations, talks, and labs where supplies are overly supplied to every student allowing each one to experience and conduct the experiment. What child doesn't like making slime? Getting the right ratio of each reagent to create their ideal product is quintessential chemistry.

Help give each of my students the supplies needed to conduct their own inquiry slime creation lab where they experiment with genuine stoichiometry of slime ingredient ratios.

This project would provide the glue and supplies needed for every student to undergo their own inquiry process to determine the best recipe for their own slime to keep and take home in their own container.
