How To Make Electroactive Slime

Here's How:

1. Mix the cornstarch and vegetable oil together in the glass.
2. Refrigerate the slime mixture until it is chilled.
3. Remove from the refrigerator and stir (separation is normal).
4. Allow the mixture to warm enough so that it can flow.
5. Take a block of styrofoam and charge it by rubbing it on hair, wool, or a cat.
6. Tip the container of slime (which should flow slowly). Place the charged styrofoam about an inch (2 cm) from the flowing slime. It should stop flowing and seem to gel!
7. If you wiggle the charged styrofoam the slime may follow or pieces of it may even break off.
8. When the styrofoam is removed the slime will continue to flow.
9. After use, refrigerate slime in a sealed container.
