Matthew Rosenstein wrote me a month ago about making Thinking Putty for his science fair project. I appreciated his ambition and knew he'd learn a lot about chemistry in the process so I sent him some raw ingredients to synthesize his own.
We emailed back and forth over the past few weeks and here is his science fair project:
Matthew had fun and learned a few things about Thinking Putty by modifying the formulation with different ingredients and seeing how those changes affected stickyness, bounce, flow, and hardness. He also learned about chemistry, and the chemical industry by reading heavy technical documentation and MSDS information on the various chemicals involved.
Good work Matt!
