Slime, Goop, Gak, Flubber and Oobleck

in What's New?



I am writing an column for Surfnetkids.com about homemade polymers, and I realized that the longer I researched, the more names I stumbled upon for the homemade goop. Here’s the list so far: goo, goop, gak, slime, flubber, oobleck.

Do you know of any others? Let me know by commenting below.

I had a teacher that was very scientific and she taught us how to make flubber it is made out of glue and liquid starch you can dye the glue too
