STEP UP YOUR KIDS’ GOO GAME
Make Amazing Magnetic Slime
If you’re a parent in 2018, you know how popular slime has become among the kiddos. NPR reports that the gooey stuff has become a “social media sensation” and even led to glue shortages in many areas across the country. But instead of making a traditional pile of neon goop with your child, why not upgrade it with magnetic capabilities? Make your own magnetic slime with just a few ingredients you can easily find around town. What you’ll need:
LASER THERAPY
•
Liquid starch
•
Elmer’s glue (or any white glue)
Let’s You Live Pain-Free
• Iron oxide powder (can be found at home improvement stores — avoid breathing it in!)
At NOVA Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we use the most effective and state- of-the-art technologies to treat any patient who walks through our doors. We stay informed on the best methods to date and how to practice them efficiently. Laser Therapy is a very effective treatment for pain and healing. Our laser therapy is the most current and advanced laser therapy technology available on the market. This treatment helps us speed up the healing process in our patients so they can return to their daily lives once again without pain. The light from the laser penetrates the cells in the body, causing them to release their built up energy. By accelerating this on a molecular level, it decreases pain and improves the overall function of the targeted area. Laser therapy treatment works for many different conditions. The blood in your body serves as transportation for oxygen and nutrients throughout the rest of your body. Laser treatment increases the blood flow in the targeted area, which in turn encourages blood cells to drop off more of the oxygen it carries in the area. As more oxygen and nutrients are brought to the pained area, the healing process accelerates with additional energy in the cells. Laser therapy treats many common conditions, including neck and back pain —more specifically, herniated discs in either area. The treatment also focuses on arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment will vary. Typically, it lasts 5–10 minutes and spans several sessions. If a patient is suffering from an acute condition, they can expect to be treated more frequently than someone who has a chronic ailment, but they’ll require fewer visits. Experiencing pain when you’re trying to go about your daily routine can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be. Laser therapy has helped many patients get back to their lives pain-free. NOVA Chiropractic & Acupuncture can be your first step back into your normal life.

Disposable bowls
• An extra-powerful neodymiummagnet (check online retailers or hobby stores)
1. Start off by pouring 1/4 cup of liquid starch into a disposable bowl. Add 2 carefully measured tablespoons of iron oxide, and stir vigorously until fully mixed. 2. Mix in 1/4 cup of glue, and stir like crazy. You’re going to doubt that this preslime mixture can possibly turn into anything, but have faith and continue to mix. Eventually, it’ll take on that gooey slime-like texture. 3. Once the slime is a little squishy, remove it from the bowl and start mashing it with your hands. Knead and knead until the mixture is evenly distributed throughout. Don’t worry about the black juice remaining in the bowl — just mix it in as best you can. When that’s done, give your hands a good scrub. The black mess will leave a stain for a little over a day.
4. Pat the slime down to dry off excess juice. That’s the stuff that makes a mess and blackens your hands, not the slime.
Now it’s ready for action! Set the slime on the countertop and get out your magnet. Your kids will be amazed by the way the thick slime reaches for the magnet, almost like some alien creature. This is the perfect opportunity to explain how magnets work. Check out the “Magnetism” page on ExplainThatStuff.com. Or just squish the slime around and see what it can do! Though it may not be as colorful as the slime you usually see, it’s definitely more interesting. It’s the perfect simple activity for a playdate with your kids this August.
