Fourth grade students were able to make slime on the last day of school. Students were given glue, contact solution, and baking soda and mixed it all together, and if their slime didn’t turn out, they had to figure out if what secret ingredient needed to be added to make it better. It was so enjoyable to see the kiddos, helping each other out and finding a solution!
