How To Make Moon Mud ***Pictures Coming Soon

Moon Mud goes by many names. Silly Putty, Gak, slime, crazy putty, and many others. My students decided that we would call this experiment- Moon Mud.


**What You Need**
  • Measuring cup 
  • Plastic spoons 
  • Water 
  • Food coloring 
  • Elmer’s School glue
  • Borax solution (ratio of about 1 Tbsp of borax to a cup of water)
  • A disposable bowl for each child

Directions- 


Step 1: Fill the bottom of the containers with Elmer’s school glue.

Step 2: Add a few squirts of water and stir.

Step 3: Add 2 drops of food coloring and stir.

Step 4: Add a squirt of borax (possibly a bit more depending on how much glue you used).

Step 5: Stir the mixture up and put it into the smaller container. By now the mixture should be joining together.
