Polymers

 Today we will explore the world of polymers...in addition to some other gross chemistry.

When you create your polymers, record observations about the following
-Observe with touch and sight
-Quickly poke the mixture
-Lay your finger on the mixture surface
-Hold the mixture in your palm
-Squeeze the mixture tightly
-Set a spoon on the surface
-Stir the mixture
-Push the mixture
-Remove your hand from the mixture

What are some practical applications of polymers?
What are some other things you think are polymers?
