Get weird and wacky with mad science! Students will explore all things ooey-gooey, and glowy while learning the art and science behind this delightful chemistry. Learn color theory while mixing colors, explore textures and shapes, and create slime sculptures! Depending on the length of residency, several mix, make, and take experiments for slime and thermo-reactive goo will be available with the option to add black-light and LED extravaganzas.
Students will learn about the science of slime while making their own! Offered as an individual session, this hands on activity can be coordinated as a live session, video session, or written plan will illustrations.
This program may be done as a residency or a single session workshop.
