Alien Snot Challenge
Make the gooiest alien snot in the galaxy!
An alien has sneezed all over the lab. Your students make their own alien snot, then stretch it, drip it, punch it and change the recipe. Younger students describe and test it, Stage 2 decides whether goo is a solid or a liquid, and Stage 3 changes one ingredient at a time and graphs the results.

What's In Alien Snot Challenge?
A hands-on workshop about slime and how materials change: how can we turn runny liquids into stretchy slime? Every student investigates with a challenge card matched to your stage.
Every session opens with a slimy surprise that gets the whole class asking questions, and ends with teams putting their alien snot to the test.
