We'll take adventures through jungles, oceans, and deserts as we learn about the varied environments on earth and choose the perfect habitat for all of our (plastic) creatures. As a grand finale, we'll put on a show to highlight all we know!

  Did you know? Slime is not a solid or a liquid; it's what we call a non-Newtonian fluid. It defies Newton’s Laws on how a material should act under pressure! 

  In "The (Weird) Science of Slime", students will relive the history of slime, explore the atoms, molecules, and overall chemistry of slime, and even learn how to make slime useful for cleaning as they iterate to create the perfect fluffy slime, sensory slime, and galaxy slime using the scientific method. Depending on preferences for malleability, texture, etc., students will experiment with ratios of ingredients to create the ultimate recipe. (Don't worry parents...all slime is quality-controlled to reduce "ickiness" and will be packaged and sealed tightly before leaving campus.)
