Magic Goo
Are you kids still enthralled by slime?
In my head though, it was time to mix it up.
Add a little more science into her play and have a different kind of slime fun.
So we experimented with different slimes and static electricity and found this magic goo!
We tried to encourage movement with static electricity and it just would not work.
Nothing moved, except our eyes with anticipation.
But then, a play on ooblek worked!Ooblek is cornstarch and water.
I didnt think anything could beat that, but I was wrong.
We mixed corn starch with oil.
Vegetable oil to be exact and WOW!
Static Electricity Experiments
We mixed one part vegetable oil, to 1 part cornstarch.
I blew up a balloon and my daughter rubbed it on her hair.
If someone walks by and barely touches them and a SPARK is felt.
No not the Im in love spark, but the static electricity spark.
Can you see how its spiking up towards the balloon?
The static electricity is pulling the goo towards the balloon.
That is pure magic!
The positive charge is attracted to the negative charge and they want to be together.
How cool is that??
