Caution! Hot water!

A material that changes color due
to a change in temperature is called
thermochromic. A thermochromic material changes
color because when it is heated the way that its molecules
absorb and release light changes. This process is reversible
because it does not involve a change in the structure of
the molecules in the material. This type of change is called
a physical change. A classic example of a thermochromic
material is a mood ring which changes color in response to
the wearer’s body heat. There are two common groups of
thermochromic materials: liquid crystals and leuco dyes. As
the name suggests, liquid crystals are materials that are in
a state between a liquid and a crystal solid. A common use
for liquid crystals is in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which
are used in TVs and computer monitors.
Leuco dyes are chemicals that can switch
between two different forms, one of
which is colorless, depending on exposure
to light, heat, or pH.

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND ADULTS
Dear Parents,
With this kit, you will be helping your child experiment with color-changing slime. We are asking
you to read these instructions together with your child, follow them and keep them for reference.
Only carry out the experiments listed in the instructions. Do not allow the slime powder and the
finished slime to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Please remind your child to wash his
or her hands thoroughly after the experiments and after handling the slime. This set is for use
only by children over 6 years. For use under adult supervision. Therefore store it out of reach of
children under 6 years old and animals. This includes the slime powder, the finished slime and the
materials in the set.
Look for a good place to do the experiments. The area surrounding the experiment should be
kept clear of any obstructions and away from the storage of food. Use a solid table with a top
that can easily be cleaned. The working area should be cleaned up immediately after carrying
out the activity. Also clean all equipment (e.g., the spatula) after use and thoroughly wash your
hands. The slime powder should be used up (completely) during the course of the experiment.
Open the packet of slime powder with scissors — never with your teeth. While experimenting,
please be careful not to create dust of the powder. Do not eat or drink in the experimental
area and while doing the experiments. The slime may cause stains that can’t be washed out of
clothing. Therefore wear suitable clothes that can get stained and keep the materials away from
table clothes, curtains, and carpets. Store the finished slime in the test tube to prevent it from
drying out and to prevent it from sticking on the surface. Dispose off all materials in this kit in the
household trash and the slime when it gets dirty, liquefies, or dries out.
We hope you and your child have a lot of fun with the hypercolor slime!
