Since I'm being lazy this weekend I decided to just do an experiment using ingredients that I already have. I typed Borax into google and found an experiment called homemade plastic here:
http://listverse.com. It is pretty easy. Just combine water, Borax, food coloring, and Elmer's glue. The child can experiment adding more liquid or more Borax and see what type of plastic is made (softer or firmer).

| Hopefully mine turns out like this |
Here's the science worksheet. It'll be easy to compare and contrast because he just did an experiment using Borax and glue but they are different experiments.
After the experiment, I'll have him brainstorm at least 5 adjectives that describe his experiment. On Thursday, we will use those words to write a story about the substance.
