Slime is a great way for children to explore and use their senses.  Slime allows children to explore by using their sense of sight, smell, and touch.  Making slime with real ingredients would be something that would make the experience more realistic, so that children would understand how slime is made. It meets the criteria for the 5 ingredients, because it can be manipulated by being made,  and the materials are real. Children can smell, feel and see what slime looks like when it is made. Slime can easily be pulled apart to be given to another child if needed.  Children can be given choices when using this product. If the slime is too "wet" feeling, children should be given the opportunity to play with the slime by using gloves if they don't like the texture. If they also want to choose other things, different colors can be an option, and maybe different things like sparkles or maybe other toys to play with should be a choice to add into slime if they would like that to further explore what happens when you add them. It would be better to have alignment in the step of being able to talk about what we discovered about slime as a group, and what they think of the experience. This would make sense because they would understand how it is made, and what they can do with it, etc. ]]> 2021-01-25 20:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ruedisam/jdex7c0f3b5lqrti/wish/1124082745 ruedisam https://padlet.com/ruedisam/jdex7c0f3b5lqrti/wish/1124340158 Makenzi Ruedisale 

I noticed that this is a learning experience that does not have the five ingredients. I noticed that though it is colorful, matching colors is not as engaging as an activity that requires more senses. This activity only uses paper, and children can really only interact with it with sight for the most part. They may be able to see things like shapes and numbers on the cars to match, but that is really what they are limited to doing. It does have velcro attached to the cars that the children can rip off and move around to match colors, and is stuck in a binder, but there are no other senses that really  happen with this activity. Children can really only interact with the velcro in their senses and their sight to match colors,  and do not get to smell and really are only feeling paper as they interact in other ways with the activity. Since the cars are made of paper, the children cannot see what wheels do, or if there are different types of engines and colors and other parts of cars like they do with what a toy car has. Even though a car is not the ideal thing to see, it is more realistic in more engagement than paper is. I would use toy cars because it is more helpful for engagement with colors and sight than paper and velcro is. ]]> 2021-01-25 21:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ruedisam/jdex7c0f3b5lqrti/wish/1124340158
