How to make SLIME??
Question:i just love that slimy suff.can any of u tell me a way to make something simelar to slime///////
Answers:
Overview:
Make slime from everyday things in the home.
Equipment:
Borax can bought at your local grocery store in the laundry detergent aisle.
White glue can be purchased at a Mass merchandise store like Target, Walmart, or KMart.
Food coloring is optional but can be purchased in the grocery store in the baking aisle.
Ziploc bags can also be purchased at the grocery store.
Need measuring cups and spoons.
Safety:
Not to be fed to your pet or baby brother. Not good for leaving in carpets or on furniture overnight. To keep almost indefinitely, leave in ziploc bag in refrigerator when not sliming! Not a bad idea to wash hands before (so it doesn't grow mold) and after (so mom will let you eat dinner) playing with it.
How to do the experiment:
Homemade Slime Recipe
Borax
White Glue
Water
Food Coloring (optional)
Ziploc bag
1. Borax is available in the laundry section of your local grocery store. Take a cup of water and add to it 1 Tbs. of borax (approx 4% solution). Stir until completely dissolved.
2. Make a 50% water 50% white glue solution. Take 1/4 cup of each and mix thoroughly.
3. In a ziploc bag, add equal parts of the borax solution to equal parts of the glue solution. 1/2 cup of each will make a cup of slime.
4. Add a couple drops of food coloring.
5. Seal bag and knead the mixture.
6. Dig in and have fun. Remember to wash your hands after playing.
7. Keep your slime in the sealed bag in the refrigerator when not playing with it to keep it longer. Unfortunately it may eventually dry out or grow mold. Just throw it out and start again!

making slime is a pretty simple chemistry experiment that can show polymerization in action! yay!
depends on what slimy stuff you are talking about. Cooking okra can give you edible slime. (VERY yucky!)
If you want to use it for schoolchildren or crafts, though, I would recommend using cornstarch, just enough water to wet it, and some food coloring. That is really fun to play with, totally slimy, hard if you knock on it and soft while you play with it. My students loved it.
good luck!
If you want slime on an industrial scale use "bentonite". It's a very slippery form of clay used as a lubricant for drilling oil wells. Our volunteer fire department uses it in the pit for mud volleyball every 4th of July, it rinses off with plain water. Ten 40# bags@$5 each is enough for a volleyball court. You can get it at farm and ranch supply stores. RScott
