Learn about and create three types of polymers and explore the differences.
- Hands on lab activity
- Kit aligned to next generation standards MS-PS1-2, MS-PS1-3
- Instructions and materials included for 15 groups
- Middle school
Students will create polymer worms, polymer slime, and polymer snow as they explore differences between thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. Students will also investigate properties of various crosslinked, superabsorbent polymers.
