Flubber is a mystifying substance that is both a liquid and a solid at
the same time. Its unusual properties make it fascinating to explore. Making flubber is a great activity that fosters
literacy skills, math, and science concepts.
As Noel engages in conversation with his peers on the instructions
to get the precise amount of each ingredient, he is practicing his literacy
skills competence. The math concept comes into play as Noel
uses a measuring tool to quantify the amount of the ingredients. Then, as he
observes, communicates, infers, hypothesizes, and defines and controls the
variables Noel is putting his science process skills to work.
Noel really enjoys the sensory experience of
this entertaining and malleable substance. He uses it to create many
things.
“I
like to make it into necklaces. It feels like mushy snakes.”
