STEAM Activity: Slime
 
Slime can be made using ingredients that are usually found in our homes. It’s fun to make and even more fun to play with.
 
Slime can be defined as any non-Newtonian fluid. The viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid can generally be affected by the application of what is called a shear stress. Examples of shear stresses are squeezing, stirring, agitating, or applying mechanical pressure to the surface of a fluid.
