Making Flubber - Nevaeh

In Te Maunga we have been doing lots of experiments inspired by the things we have been learning in our maths problem solving. We have written lots of procedures but we have been trying to make flubber or slime. Our problem was that we had to work out the precise measurements like how much glue do we add? How much borax and water do we add. So we had to work all of those things out. We made flubber because of our maths problem solving. The flubber DID not work because we added too much water to the flubber which made the flubber liquidy. I learnt how to add the fractions together to make different answers like ¼ + ¼ = 0.5 at the start I thought that it equaled ⅛ but it didn’t so I think that I learnt something new. I found working out the fractions very hard and I don't think I found anything easy. But the best thing is we tried to make flubber and it was really fun.
