Program Description

Event Details

Slime is the new Slinky. In addition to slimes glorious slippery, gooby, malleable fun to play with features, in this class we learn about the many ways slime and other slippery icky fluids can be used to illustrate phenomena that currently exist in the natural world around us. From glaciers, to mudslides, to quaking bogs, explore the fluids that are neither liquid nor solid.  Investigate the interplay between viscosity,  friction and gravity. If you like ooze, this class is for you.
