Hypothesis: If we use 2x more glue and 2x more borax solution, then the polymer will stretch farther because it has more contents.
Results: After making it into a solid, we stretched the new polymer. Our polymer stretched out twice as much (on average). During our first experiment, the polymer barely made it to 15cm. It was stretched twice horizontally and twice vertically. The two horizontal tests turned out to be 32cm and 28cm, and the two vertical tests were 25cm and 30cm. It stretched about 2.5cm more horizontally. After this, Derek bounced the polymer two times after forming it into a ball. The first test was 2cm. Derek waited five minutes and tested it again- it bounced about 4cm. I believe it bounced/stretched higher/further because the polymer was significantly larger- we used 80mL of glue and 50mL of borax solution. Because of this, it was slightly harder to form.
