Slimy Lab

Categories: On-Site, Outreach

Grades 1-4: Students engage in an introductory chemistry experience and make silly putty.

Featured:

Students get their hands deep into science when they combine two liquid substances and create their own silly putty. Participants are encouraged to get a little messy and to think about the different ways they can work to change the substances.  There are always lots of smiles and giggles during this experience.

Details:

  • This program is available for students in grades 1 – 4.
  • This program is available by appointment only.

Connections:

Learners make estimates, measure and pour ingredients and observe and consider the properties and states of matter.  They plan and carry out the steps necessary to experience a chemical reaction in their own hands.  (NGSS PS1A  and PS1B)

Notes :

In this program students are encouraged to conduct the experiments for themselves with limited assistance from chaperones.

This program is frequently combined with our demonstration and explore program during a SEE field trip visit.

If you have less than 15 students, you can pay the equivalent minimum charge for the program.
