Making flubber! 10/5/09

What a great day we had making flubber. It was really cool to mix different liquids and have them turn into such cool, rubbery flubber! A little glue, water, and borax (and coloring of choice) and it's like magic.... stretchy, cold, rubbery flubber.

will stick together and make flubber.




Ohhh, what is this making? The look on MG's face says it must be something gooey!


KN and NE.... what is this stuff??



AJ and CA... digging in!


Just what little boys love... gooey flubber!
CC and JC are having a blast.

Little girls love it, too..... maybe!
KG and QC aren't quite sure!


GT and DV mixing and stretching their flubber.
It's almost ready to put on the table and play!


JP and BS are almost finished mixing.
Look at CA's face in teh background!!
Just why I love teaching!

  1. I love this BLOG, best ever!! Karen you are so creative and patience with all your kids. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in school. You deserve a good pat on the back for all you do for our kids. Abby adores you and brags all the time about how much she loves your class. Your projects keep the kids interested in what they are learning and its fun for them too. We need more teachers that make learning more fun and rewarding like you do. Keep up the great work. I wish I could voluteer my time during school more, but work pays the bills. Sorry!! I will be there on Friday to help with the Field trip to the community garden. Let me know what time to be there. Thanks. Kim Johnson
