We have posted a new science experiment for kids on our website at:
http://m2polymer.com/html/science-projects.html
This is an experiment to learn about pH and to make your own pH test paper strips using liquid from boiled red cabbage and cut up paper coffee filters. You then test various household liquids to see if they are acidic, neutral or alkaline (basic). We hope your kids enjoy the experiment and develop a life-long interest in the sciences.

M2 Polymer Technologies gave a poster presentation during the annual radwaste meeting titled “Stability of Super Absorbent Polymers in Sodium Nitrate.” Our poster won Best in Track 3 -for Intermediate Level Waste (ILW), Low Level Waste (LLW), Mixed Waste (MW) and NORM. The paper can be viewed at the following link: http://www.m2polymer.com/html/press-release-3-2016.html
We are starting a new, monthly feature on our website offering free science projects for kids, parents or teachers to use to demonstrate different principals in chemistry. Our first project is a “Recipe for GAAKK.” This involves Elmer’s glue, 40-mule team borax soap and demonstrates the cross-linking of polyvinyl alcohol. The end result is a cup of semi-solid resembling a large booger. The project is a HIT with the kindergarten set! You can down load the instructions from the following link: http://www.m2polymer.com/html/science-projects.html 
I was down at our Wrigleyville condo yesterday. Waveland Avenue was closed down and 10 huge dump trucks were waiting in line. The left field bleachers were rapidly disappearing!
