Sickening Slime Workshop
Classic chemistry meets creative slime flare.
​
Hands-on vacation or school workshop all about the chemistry behind slime and polymers.
​
We explore a variety of slimes here from the classic (but messy cornflour slime), flubber and vomit slime to the ever amazing colour changing slime (Temperature dependent slime).
This workshop is a great way to explore polymers, and slime that actually defies gravity!
​
-
Make 4 types of slime while learning about polymers & 'activators'.
-
How does molecule size affect a slime?
-
ALL children get a coloured experiment sheet to continue their exploration as well as taking home their slime types.
​​
We give each child a special chemical to take home as well so they can make the ever popular 'cloud slime'.
​​
Prepare:
​
This workshop if FUN and educational but can be messy. Best for outside environments and easily washed surfaces. If this is not the case, I can easily substitute the messy slime for another amazing slime type.
Classic Oobleck Slime
This non-Newtonian fluid is messy, BUT amazes your brain cells.
​
​
Flubber Slime
A COOL non-messy gelatinous slime to explore the effect of variables on slime production.
​
How does concentration of a reactant affect the physical properties of a slime?
Edible Slime
I can add this in place of the messy Oobleck slime.
​
This co-ploymer slides right down your throat!
​
Temperature
changing
Slime
Thermochromic pigments are used to create an amazing slime here.
Natural no glue
I show you how to make a mysterious slime using a plant based chemical with NO glue!
Slime Run
Some centres want to 'Run the Slime Trail'.
​
This extra experience is amazing..... needing MORE slime than a Flue ridden Dino sneeze!
(extra charge needed)
We also explore gravity defying slime.
This super sticky slime is amazing and actually seems to defy gravity!
Recent Vacation care Feedback.....
The Bubble mania workshop has created a love of science at our OOSH and more importantly a love of learning. Even I come away with with new knowledge from the workshop.
