Novel Science: Edible Slime + "Frankenslime" Reading Guide

Read a silly monster book, then make slime you can squish.

This free pack pairs the picture book Frankenslime with a hands-on slime lab. Your kids read the story and answer a few questions about it. Then they make slime from gummy bears, cornstarch, and powdered sugar and find out why it stretches when you pull it slowly but snaps when you pull it fast.

What's inside:

• A reading guide for Frankenslime with a prediction, story questions, and adjective practice
• The gummy bear slime recipe and a Science Connection about why slime acts like both a liquid and a solid
• A reflection page that connects your slime to the slime in the story

What you'll need:

• a copy of Frankenslime (your library likely has it)
• gummy bears
• cornstarch
• powdered sugar

This pack is a small taste of Novel Science, where each unit is a full science study paired with a classic read-aloud. All of the planning is done for you and the supplies are easy to find in your kitchen or craft closet.
