Today the mad scientists of Room 13 conducted an experiment. They were making mucus slime! They needed to get hot water, a mixing bowl, 2 teaspoons of lux flakes, a few drops of food colouring, a mixing spoon, measuring cup and spoons. First they put the lux flakes in the bowl and the teacher added food colouring. Then they added hot water. But something went wrong... the water wasn't hot enough to dissolve the flakes. SO they got HOT water and stirred it in. Yay slime - HANG ON! It didn't feel or look like slime! What to do next? 2 groups decided to add citric acid, another group added icing sugar and the last group added baking soda. Room 13 went around and felt every slime, they sat next to the one that felt most like slime. The winner was baking soda and then the citric acid slimes.
Overall Room 13 felt the slime didn't really work. They wanted to add cornflour because that is what was added to the oobleck but we didn't have any. Now Room 13 are going to write it up!
