Below are the pictures taken throughout the process of making the polymer ball. There are not many photographs as it was difficult to take pictures with my hands being dirty with all the materials especially the glue and cornstarch.
Pouring the glue into the bowl!

Pouring the mixture onto my hands to knead into a ball!
The polymer has been kneaded into a ball!

Finished balls kept in ziplock bags
When making the polymer balls, I observed that the balls made using 12.5ml of borax solution were very difficult to mould into a ball as the polymer would not stick together, while balls made using 2.5ml of borax solution were very sticky and "goopy", and were also very difficult to make as they were too much in liquid form and could not form a ball. Similarly, this was also observed when using 10% and 2% concentration of borax solution respectively.
