• In this experiment, we will learn how to make slime. Slime is a polymer made from glue and borate ions. It is "non-newtonian" because it is both a solid and a liquid. If you pull it apart quickly, applying a large force, it becomes very viscous and will break in half. However, without any force, it flows like a liquid.
