Tonight our year 5 and 6 pupils were investigating ratio and proportion for slime mixtures. Rather than using a precise recipe that the year 3s and 4s had used last year, this group were given the basic ingredients and then investigated the best combinations for themselves. All of them chose to add shaving foam to the ingredients they were given and some added glitter – but that was just for aesthetic effect, it didn’t make the slime any stretchier. The pupils did find that if the slime was too sticky or didn’t come together properly, adding more saline solution helped to solve the problem.
Our STEM Club pupils have now completed six challenges towards their Crest Award with two more to go before we finish for Christmas. They will then be able to look forward to receiving their well deserved certificates and badges early in the Spring term
