Creative Coalition STEM-Artificial Ooze Experiment

Program Type:

Discussion Groups, Workshop

Age Group:

Teens

Event Details

Let's dive into the wacky world of non-Newtonian fluids by creating your very own artificial ooze. Prepare for a hands-on experience that's both fun and educational! Will explore the gooey science by getting your hands dirty as you learn how certain materials act differently under pressure. Will your ooze be a runny puddle or a solid mass? It's all part of the fun!

 

Learning objectives:

  • Understand Fundamental Concepts: - Grasp the basic principles of chemistry and biology that contribute to the creation of artificial ooze, including polymer formation and the role of viscosity. 
  • Develop Scientific Methods: - Apply the scientific method by designing, conducting, and analyzing the results of the ooze experiment, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  •  Experiment with Materials: - Gain hands-on experience with various materials used in the ooze experiment, including polymers, dyes, and other additives, understanding their properties and interactions.
