Is a silly putty a solid liquid or gas?
There is many formulas for putty. The putty with the fallowing ingredients of: water, glue, borax solution, and if you want to add, food coloring is a liquid. I know this because, the putty takes the shape of its container, and has all the other properties of liquids. Read bellow for the instructions on how to make it. What you'll need: 2 containers (1 smaller than the other, preferably a film canister) Water Food colouring PVA glue Borax solution (ratio of about 1 Tbsp of borax to a cup of water) Instructions: Fill the bottom of the larger container with PVA glue. Add a few squirts of water and stir. Add 2 or 3 drops of food colouring and stir. Add a squirt of borax (possibly a bit more depending on how much PVA glue you used). Stir the mixture up and put it into the smaller container. By now the mixture should be joining together, acting like putty, crazy putty!
