Welcome to The Lab Report sponsored by Apologia Science. This week we are exploring chemistry by making a polymer ball out of ingredients you probably have at home.

You were much more successful in making yours than I was. We tried to do it a few years ago and we did not successfully make one. I should try it again now that the kids are older, and able to measure more accurately.
We’ve done this many times. The kids love it. Usually, we add a little food coloring, too. The secret is to keep rolling and rolling and rolling. It is a mess at first, but it eventually comes together. Good Luck!
