Steam Thursday: Slimetopia-Challenge Island

Avalon Free Public Library
  • Date: 8/6/2026
  • Starts: 10:00 am

The Science of Slime: Children will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and that slime is a Non-Newtonian Fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is a special kind of liquid (or gooey stuff) that doesn’t follow Isaac Newton’s rules. This happens because the molecules in non-Newtonian fluids, like the polymer chains in slime, behave differently under different forces. We will set up two Slime Stations.This activity is for ages 7 to 12. Attendees under 8 must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
