JumpStart 3rd Grade – Intro 1

Part #1 of the opening to one of my all time favorite PC games, JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain. I loved this game when I was a kid. Its rare when a game meant to educate you is so much fun. For those who also grew up playing it, I hope you enjoy this bit of nostalgia. I cant believe after all these years it still works. Awesome. 8D This game had a sci-fi theme to it. The plot was that Polly Spark, the bratty daughter of a scientist, used her dad’s time machine to send 25 robots into the past to screw up time. You, the player, had to help a friendly robot named Botley rescue the other robots and stop Polly from making the world really weird. I had forgotten how long the introduction was. This also includes the memory game you had to play to get into the mountain. This game and its characters are NOT mine. They are (c) Knowledge Adventure, Inc. Special thanks to my brother for helping me record this.

In this video, we create a glowing slime polymer out of some fairly common chemicals. The slime forms as a result of cross-linking boron atoms from sodium tetraborate (borax) combining with PVOH. It glows because of copper dopoed zinc sulfide.
