Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent minded professor, works with his assistant
Weebo, trying to create a substance that's a new source of energy and that will
save Medfield College where his sweetheart Sara is the president. He has missed
his wedding twice, and on the afternoon of his third wedding, Professor Brainard
creates flubber, which allows objects to fly through the air. I looks like
rubber, so he calls it flubber.
1997
This film is based on the 1961 Disney classic,
"The Absent-Minded Professor."
Make Your Own Flubber
Flubber is similar to slime in many ways, sort of just a variation on
the recipe. The slight change in the amounts of water, borax and glue
makes a big difference in the final product. Try for yourself and check
this stuff out.
What you need:
Warm water
3 tsp. Borax (non-toxic/available by laundry detergents)
2 cups of white glue
Food coloring
Recipe in video varies a
little
What to do:
In a large container, (such as a pail), combine 1.5 cups warm
water, 2 cups white glue and food coloring.
In a second, smaller container, combine 11/3 cups warm water with
3 tsp. Borax.
Mix ingredients in each container thoroughly.
Pour contents of small container into the large container.
Gently lift and turn the mixture until approximately a tablespoon
of liquid is left. Flubber will be sticky at first. Let excess
liquid drip off. Flubber will then be ready!
Stretch it…Bounce it…Roll it!
