In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

Learners make slime from white school glue and Borax detergent. The long chain molecules of the white glue become cross-linked by the Borax into a big network.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.
