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!
