Sean,

would you be able to use an activity like this with your older class? I wonder if the sensory aspect of it might be too much for some children with sensory issues. I once made slime with a class and had a child vomit from the experience, so I am always keen to let the children lead on how much they want to touch/squish and otherwise engage.

For younger children, the measuring and mixing is likely to be in broad capacity units – ie a spoon, rather than in detailed ml.
