More about Science of Slime Workshop
Discover the Science Behind Slime
Wild Science brings one of the UK's favourite STEM workshops directly to your school, library, birthday party, or community event. The popular Science of Slime workshop is sure to captivate young scientists with hands-on fun and learning.
Our Science of Slime Workshop combines hands-on fun with real science. Children create their own slime while learning about polymers and how different ingredients change its texture.
Every participant makes their own slime to take home. It is an exciting way to inspire curiosity and build confidence through practical learning.
Our Nutty professors will lead participants in creating their own slime with various ingredients. During the workshop, students will explore the science of slime, focusing on the characteristics of polymers and how they interact with various substances.
Slime Making Workshop near you
Dive in and create your very own slime just the way you like it! Pick a colour, sprinkle in some glitter, and adjust the thickness to your liking, whether you want it thick or runny.
See how far you can stretch and find out if thick or runny slime stretches further. Once you've had a blast crafting your slime, take it home to keep the fun going and proudly display your creation!
Polymer Game
Polymers are molecules that connect to form long chains. When you make slime, these molecules intertwine or bond with each other, resulting in a chain or polymer structure.
We’ve devised an engaging method for demonstrating the science of slime. This method encourages you to get up and move while making it a playful experience.
Our Slime Workshop is crafted to be welcoming and enjoyable for individuals of all ages and abilities. These workshops offer a lively and hands-on learning experience that encourages creativity, science skills and sensory engagement.
