Sunny made slime with contact lense solution, bicarbonate of soda and PVA glue. She dyed it green with food colouring and added glitter. She followed the recipe from the internet

Art

• Sunny learned about color mixing by dyeing the slime green with food coloring.
• She explored texture by adding glitter to the slime.
• Sunny practiced following a recipe and measuring ingredients accurately.
• She exercised her creativity by personalizing the slime with color and glitter.

Science

• Sunny learned about chemical reactions as the slime formed when the contact lens solution interacted with the bicarbonate of soda and PVA glue.
• She observed the changes in consistency and texture of the slime as she mixed the ingredients together.
• Sunny gained knowledge about polymer science through the formation of the slime.
• She practiced following step-by-step instructions from the internet recipe.

For continued development, encourage Sunny to experiment with different colors and types of glitter to create unique variations of slime. She can also try adding different scents or even small objects like beads or sequins for additional sensory exploration. Sunny can document her slime-making adventures in a journal or scrapbook to reflect on her creative process and track her progress.
