Magnetic Slime DIY

Is it alive? Or is it science? 😳

Level up your slime game and save this creepy black magnetic goo DIY that moves without touching it! Who else thinks this looks like something from the Upside Down?

Steps ⬇️:
1. Gather your materials – white glue, iron oxide powder, liquid starch, disposable cup, magnets, tablespoon, craft stick, paper towels, and gloves.
2. Add 1 tbsp of iron oxide powder in a disposable cup.
3. Add 2 tbsp of liquid starch and stir.
4. Add 2 tbsp of white glue and stir until you get an even consistency. You may need to scrape the mixture off your craft stick periodically to keep mixing.
5. Put gloves on and knead the slime. It should start to dry as you do so. Keep kneading until your slime is smooth and dry. If needed, you can gently dab it on a paper towel to help with the drying process.
6. Your slime should now be safe to handle without getting your hands dirty. Grab some magnets and see how they interact with the slime!
7. For some extra experimentation, try varying your ratio of iron oxide to glue to liquid starch and observe the results. Depending on your ratio, the slime can either be very thick or thin and it will interact differently with the magnets.

What's going on? 🧲
Iron is an element that is magnetic at room temperature, so the iron oxide powder in the slime is attracted to the magnet. The mixture of white glue with liquid starch creates the slimy substance that holds the iron. Strong magnets, such as neodymium magnets, work best for this experiment.
