The Science of Slime Workshop
Learning Lab Wichita - June 14th- 1pm to 3pm- $10 per participant
What makes slime stretchy, gooey, and so much fun to play with? In this hands-on workshop, kids will explore the science behind polymers, non-Newtonian fluids, and chemical reactions as they create their own slime. We'll experiment with different ingredients to see how they affect the texture and elasticity, learning real-world applications of these scientific concepts in everything from toys to medical technology. Participants won't just have a great time; they'll also walk away with new skills and knowledge like...
Understanding the basics of polymers and how they behave in different states.
Exploring the properties of non-Newtonian fluids and how they differ from solids and liquids.
Conducting hands-on experiments to observe the effects of different ingredients on slime texture and elasticity.
Developing an appreciation for chemistry in everyday life through fun and interactive learning!
Best of all, each participant will get to take home their own custom-made slime!
Recommended Ages: 3rd- 5th Grades
