How (Not) to Make Slime

Science is fun, and even if your experiment doesn't work out the way you want it to, part of that fun can be making a big mess and just enjoying yourself!

Watch as Ms. Andrea tries to make glow-in-the-dark slime, and shows you that being a scientist takes patience and lots of do-overs.
