Polymer Crystals

I was given some polymer crystals and here is my first experiment!


Start.

2 minutes later.

10 minutes later.

Had stuff to do. Next day. Water Gone.

Blob took over.

Pretty Hydrated Blob.

Next experiment. Let's try to make this blobs turn different colors. Food coloring in water?? Emergen-C in water?? What about different liquids?!?

Warning: Don't eat polymer crystals!

I Blame Us

My parents lounge in the TV room.
Paying excellent attention to
This obviously captivating,
new hit show on channel five.
They burn money like America burns fat. Entertaining families nationwide.
My Thursday night is booked.
How about yours?

I blame us.
I blame us for tragedy.
I blame us for living selfishly.
But this is all we've known.
Calamity, but why?

Maybe they could be constructive.
Instead of parading their wealth on screen.
The envy in my heart is growing.
Not envy for the crown of gold.
But lust for the power.
In hope that I could somehow,
Do something to benefit
Benefit a greater good.

I blame us.
I blame us for tragedy.
I blame us for living selfishly
But this is all we've known.
Calamity, but why?
Think of all the children without...

I blame us.
I blame us for tragedy.
I blame us for living selfishly.
But this is all we've known.
Calamity, but why?
