Need a “following directions” activity with a clear reward for following the directions correctly? Alien Goo is just for you!
By popular request, here are the directions for making radioactive alien goo. This is taken from a soon-to-be-released pack on Alien Science. If these directions are not followed exactly, you get a liquid-y mess. Sad face. If you follow directions, you get super fun alien goo!
This was originally intended to be a fun review activity, but it became more of a “following written directions” activity. This would be excellent for the first couple weeks of school! We had a lot of fun and the kids learned a very important lesson about reading and following written directions.
Here are the directions.

I love this idea! You can definitely catch on as to who is following directions to the T and who isn’t! Thank you for the creative activity!

How do you measure one ounce of glue? Sorry to be kind of brain dead but do you use a measuring spoon? Weigh it?
I eyeball it for the kids. You can also use a measuring spoon. Since a container of glue is 4 oz., I separated it into 4 equal parts.
One once of glue is equal to 2 TBS.
I can’t wait to try this! However, I can’t find gel glue. Will regular glue work ?
Will regular Elmer’s glue work for this?
