The afternoon was filled with excitement and discovery as the children gathered for an engaging science session led by Rodney. The room buzzed with curiosity as everyone took their seats, eagerly awaiting the start of the experiments.
Rodney, with his signature enthusiasm and infectious energy, began the session with a series of captivating science demonstrations. First, he showed the children how different chemicals could interact to produce dramatic effects—colour changes, bubbling reactions, and even a small, controlled explosion that had everyone’s eyes wide with amazement. Each experiment was not only a spectacle but also a learning opportunity, as Rodney explained the science behind every reaction, encouraging the children to ask questions and share their thoughts.
After the initial demonstrations, the children were given a chance to try something hands-on. Rodney introduced them to the fascinating world of polymers and slime-making. With an assortment of colourful ingredients spread across the tables, the children’s faces lit up with excitement as they realized they were going to make their own slime!
The recipe was simple but magical. As the children followed the instructions, they marvelled at how the liquid mixture transformed into thick, stretchy slime right before their eyes. The children got creative, choosing from an array of bright colours—vibrant pinks, cool blues, neon greens, and sparkly purples.
Some kids mixed multiple colours together to create rainbow slimes, while others added glitter for an extra touch of sparkle. The room was filled with laughter and chatter as the children squished, stretched, and molded their creations, fascinated by the texture and feel of their new slimy friends. It was a fun, tactile experience that brought science to life in the most delightful way.
By the end of the session, not only had the children learned about chemical reactions and the properties of materials, but they also walked away with their very own jars of colourful, stretchy slime to take home—proof of an afternoon filled with fun and discovery.
