The discovery of synthetic polymers (long chains of carbon) led to the development of thousands of useful products such as nylon and polystyrene.
With this lab, your students can become chemists and make their own polymer (a.k.a. "slime"). In addition, students can follow the activities in the lab to investigate the many forms and uses of man-made polymers.
Includes: materials for 40 samples of "slime" (35 mL each), MSD sheet, and complete background information on man-made and natural polymers, including student activities and instructions.
