SS Investigate 4 Goopy Stuff

We are experimenting with two solutions, polyvinyl alcohol in water and borax in water. When we mix them interesting things happen. Here is a link to our Scientific Method write-up.



After conducting your experiment, what 2 questions do you have?

What would happen if you put blue instead of red. What would happen if we didn't use water.

What would happen if I added more water? What would have happen if I didn't add as much borax?

The two questions I wrote were, what if we added alcohol to the mixtures. Then I wrote for my second question I put down, what would have happen if we also added vinegar.

What would happen if we put vinegar in the stuff? Would it bubble up? What would happen if we put glue in it? Would it make it softer or harder?

What I put for my questions were that what would happen if you used alcohol instead of water? The other question I wrote that what would happen if you used vinegar instead of water?

My hypothesis was wrong it was a physical change not a chemical .My questions are "what would happen if we left out a ingredient?" , "what
if it was a chemical change?" , and what if it was edible?".

What if it was not squooshy? What if we added different ingredients?

What would happen if I added some salt or pepper in the bowl before the polyvinyl alcohol solution and the borax solution were put in the bowl together. I also wonder what would happen if the borax was mixed with egg yolks.

When you mixed the polyvinyl alcohol with the borax why didn't it make bubbles?

My other question is why did the goo stuff get sticky?
