Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Just what is this slimy, stringy, rubbery stuff? This variation on slime will probably remind you of a similar substance found in many toy stores. This is the most popular version of "slime" among teachers because it's so easy to make and serves as a great visual tool for introducing students to the properties of polymers.

A word of caution

White glue slime is fun for everyone. Be aware that kids will try all things with it and that slime on hair is not a good combination. If that should happen, a product like Goo Gone helps seperate the slime from the kid.
