INTRODUCTION

Relevance. Childhood is unthinkable without toys. Toys provide a child with an environment that allows him to explore. the world, form and realize your creative abilities, express your feelings, teach you to communicate and know yourself. “A toy is a thing used for play,” this is how the meaning of a toy is explained to us Dictionary Russian language (Ozhegov S., Shvedova N). There are different types of toys: wooden, plastic, rubber, fur, etc.

We were interested in a toy that is sold in a plastic jar. On the one hand, it looks like jelly, but does not melt. On the other hand, you can pour it, take it in your hands, and it will not leak. And its name is kind of strange... Lizun...

Lizun? What it is? Why is this toy called that? What does it consist of? How does it retain its properties?

Problem: Is it possible to make slime at home to use as a toy?

An object: slime

Item: ways to make slime at home.

Target: making slime at home.

Tasks:

Explain the meaning of the word “lizun”.

Study the history of slime.

Study what components are included in the slime

Conduct experiments (make a toy).

Determine storage conditions.

Hypothesis: If you know the composition of the components and observe their correct proportions, it is possible to make slime at home.

Research methods:

Studying literature on this issue;

Analysis and search of information on the Internet;

Observation

Experiment.

1. Theoretical part

1.1. What is "lizun"?

According to the first objective of the study, we turned to literature and Internet sources in order to clarify the meaning of the word “lizun”.

The meaning of the word Lizun in the explanatory dictionary of Efremova T.F.:

Lizun - 1. One who loves to lick, lick.

The meaning of the word Lizun in the mythological encyclopedia:

Lizun, Lizunko - a spirit that lives behind the stove or in the underground of a house, which, according to legend, licks people’s hair, the hair of livestock at night, and licks dishes left anywhere. Slime can resemble a furry animal. The peasants used the mysterious furry slime to frighten children: “The slime lives under the stove, in the kitchen, in the closet. Don't cry, the licker will eat you there. Lizun lives underground” (Volog.). In the Smolensk region, lizun is a “children’s scarecrow,” but lizun is also a “sheaf of fire and flame.”

Slime, which lives under the stove and comes out when no one is there (can also appear in bathhouses), was used to scare children in the Smolensk region, as well as in the Yaroslavl, Tver, and Kostroma provinces.

1.2. The history of the appearance of “lizun”

Slime is a very interesting and unusual toy. Initially, slime was called slime and was the brainchild of the huge American toy concern Mattel. It was released quite a long time ago - in 1976. Consists of a viscous jelly-like material. The main component of slime was guar gum. It was green and sold in a plastic jar. Since then, many other companies have produced it, and the name “slime” has become a household name.

In the CIS, slimes, renamed slimes, became popular after a television cartoon about a ghost catcher was shown, in which one of the characters, a green ghost, was called Lizun. And indeed, they are very similar with their stretchy sticky and elastic texture.. Soon this nickname became the real name of this toy.

Slime from the cartoon "Ghostbusters"

Then the slimes were balls of elastic jelly-like mass, which, when thrown against a wall, smeared on it and stuck, after which it returned to its original state.

The slime collected all the dirt and hair of pets and was easily washed with water, so it was often used by adults to clean clothes. Over time, the slime became so contaminated that it lost its properties.

It is strictly prohibited in educational institutions, as it left greasy oil stains on the ceiling and blackboards. Was very popular in the early 1990s.

Currently, slime is a viscous jelly-like liquid that is sold in plastic jars.

1.3. Composition and properties of “slime”

The main components are polysaccharide (guar gum) and borax. Instead of the polysaccharide, other polymers can be used. Interesting for its properties non-Newtonian fluid. The material is similar to slime, but it does not spill and is easy to collect. If the slime is left alone, it begins to spread over the surface, and with a sharp impact it becomes denser, and, for example, when you hit a piece of material, you can see how it tears.

The first "lizun"

The main components are polysaccharide (guar gum) and borax.

Guar gum, guar, guaran (E412) - food supplement, belongs to the group of stabilizers.

Guar gum is used in Food Industry as a consistency stabilizer and has the following properties:

increase in viscosity;

gelling properties.

Borax is a mineral. It is used as a raw material for boron production.

Modern "lizun"

Interesting for its properties. Its base is mucus, but it does not spill and is easy to assemble. If the slime is left alone, it spreads like a liquid, and with a sharp impact it becomes denser, and, for example, when you hit a piece of slime, you can see how it tears.

The slime sold in the store (aka "Smart Plasticine") is the result of a mixture of: 65% dimethylsiloxane, 17% silica, 9% Thixatrol ST (castor oil derivatives), 4% polydimethylsiloxane, 1% decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, 1% glycerin and 1 % titanium dioxide.

The basis of modern Lizun isPVA glue , since the glue has the property of ductility and a certain thickness. The glue must be fresh; like everything else, it has a date on the jar. Otherwise, the lifespan of the slime itself will be significantly reduced.

Sodium tetraborate gives the slime viscosity; sodium teraborate contains glycerin, which allows the slime to stick well to hands and objects.

Chapter Conclusions

After studying the literature, we decided to try to give our own definition of the “lizun” toy. So, slime is a toy that is a jelly-like mass, reminiscent of the ghost of the same name from the cartoon “Ghostbusters”.

2. Practical part

Having studied all the compositions for making slime, we decided to try making our own using the proposed recipe.

From the literature we learned that the basis of Lizun is PVA glue. However, you can try using different types of glue as a basis: PVA glue, transparent stationery glue, wallpaper glue.

When making slime, it is important to follow safety precautions: you must wear gloves when mixing the components.

2.1.1. Experience No. 1

Components:

PVA glue – 150 g.

Watercolor paints

Sodium tetraborate - 10 ml.

Preparation method

PVA glue. White, preferably fresh.

Then use watercolor paints to give Lizun a green color.

Mix everything well until smooth and add sodium tetraborate.

Mix until a jelly-like homogeneous mass is obtained. Then we put the resulting Lizun in a plastic bag and knead well until a homogeneous mass is formed.

Result: The consistency of the slime resembles very soft plasticine. It stretches well, holds its shape for a while, and then spreads out. Leaves no traces. It's very good to play with this slime. Especially sculpting faces.

2.1.2. Experience No. 2

Components:

Transparent stationery glue – 150g.

Watercolor paints

Sodium tetraborate - 10 ml.

Preparation method

To make a small slime, we need about half a glass, about 150 g of glue. Pour the glue from the bottle into a bowl.

Add green watercolor paints and mix everything well.

Add a few drops of sodium tetraborate.

Mix until a jelly-like homogeneous mass is obtained.

Result: The structure of the slime is very soft. Stretches well. Keeps its shape. Leaves no traces. It is very pleasant and convenient to play with this slime.

2.2. Identification of storage conditions for “slime”

We will store the slimes in different containers:

Slime made from PVA glue in a glass jar

Slime made from transparent office glue in a plastic jar

Slime from the store in store packaging

Based on the results of observation for three days, we noticed that the slimes remained at their original consistency.This means that Lizunov can be stored in different containers, but with hermetically sealed lids.

Chapter Conclusions

Having studied all the compositions for making slimes, we decided to try using PVA glue and office glue as a basis.

The slime, which is based on PVA glue, has a consistency similar to soft plasticine, stretches well, holds its shape for some time, and then spreads. Leaves no traces. It’s very good to play with this slime, especially when sculpting faces.

The slime, which is based on transparent office glue, has a very soft structure, stretches well, holds its shape, and leaves no marks. It is very pleasant and convenient to play with this slime.

Experiments have shown that funny slime should be stored strictly in a closed container. It can be a plastic box, plastic or glass jar. Slimes love cool weather and dry quickly in the heat.

Conclusion

Experimentally, we solved the problem of making slime at home so that it could be used as a toy.

In accordance with the first task, we revealed the meaning of the word “lizun”. Having studied the literature, we did not find a clear formulation, so we decided to give our own understanding of the word, based on the information received: slime is a toy that is a jelly-like mass, reminiscent of the ghost of the same name from the cartoon “Ghostbusters”.

In accordance with the second task, we studied the history of the appearance of “lizun”. It turns out that the toy was first released in 1976 by Mattel and was a viscous jelly-like material. The slime was green and sold in a plastic jar.

After getting acquainted with the composition, we learned that the basis of modern slime is PVA glue.

Having studied all the compositions for making slimes, we decided to try using PVA glue and office glue as a basis. As a result, we came to the conclusion that such slimes are suitable for play.

Experienced way proved that you should store funny slime strictly in a closed container. It can be a plastic box, plastic or glass jar. Slimes love cool weather and dry quickly in the heat.

The assigned tasks have been solved. The goal of the study has been achieved. The hypothesis has been proven.

We don’t consider the work finished, since we plan to make slime by replacing sodium tetraborate with 20% starch.

During mass production, some chemical components are introduced into slime (or handgam), which are not always harmless to children. Caring parents They can make slime without glue and without sodium tetraborate from available ingredients, and delight the child with a bright, interesting toy. Making handgams takes a little time; anyone can cope with the task.

Convenient to prepare slime in tall dishes. This promotes uniform and quick kneading of the toy.

Child psychologists believe that slime is a good anti-stress toy. Handgam does not contain glue, helps to develop motor activity, interest in plastic forms, fine motor skills, and creative imagination. To make slime at home without glue and sodium tetraborate, you can use different components. Will come in handy toothpaste, potato starch, wheat flour, hair shampoo, baking soda, liquid, laundry soap, children's plasticine. Everyone has these ingredients, so you can make slime at home without sodium tetraborate, without using glue, quickly, inexpensively, and the resulting slime will not contain harmful ingredients.

Airy slime made from soap and paste

You will need one and a half tablespoons (25 g) of toothpaste: you need to visually divide the tube into required quantity parts. Take in equal quantity liquid soap, add five teaspoons of wheat flour. How to form a slime with your own hands without using glue and borax:

1. Squeeze the required amount of paste into the bottom of a metal bowl and pour in soap.
2. Mix the liquid base, pour flour into the resulting mixture little by little.
3. It is convenient to first stir with a spoon, and when the mass becomes thick, use your hands.

At the end of the work, the slime is lightly moistened with water and kneaded. Using simple ingredients, you can make a slime without PVA glue and sodium tetraborate in a couple of minutes. The resulting toy is in no way inferior to store-bought plasticine handgams.

Viscous toy made from soda and detergent

A quick, easy way to make a fun toy is to use dishwashing liquid, regular baking soda, and some food coloring to give the toy a nice color. Preparation of slime:
