Create Your Own Bouncy Balls! #kidsfun #DIY #DIYProjects #TAMUPhysicsFest

Turn simple household ingredients into a fun physics experiment as we make our own bouncy balls from scratch using Borax, glue, cornstarch, and water, with optional food coloring for customization. This step by step demo walks through the full process, starting with safety precautions like gloves and eye protection, then mixing a Borax solution before combining glue and cornstarch to create the base material. As the solutions come together, you will see a chemical reaction transform the mixture into a flexible, rubber like substance that can be shaped into a ball and bounced. Along the way, you will learn how changing the ratios and mixing process affects the final result, making this a great hands on activity for exploring polymers, elasticity, and material science in a simple and engaging way.
