Explore slippery, slimy, sometimes ridiculous, but extremely scientific chemistry via hands-on experiments with silly putty, super-balls, ice cream, slime, chewing gum, and other fun polymers. Investigate their properties. How far can you stretch them? What makes them hold together--or not? Have a great time pondering the properties and perplexities of polymers with your peers.

Course content is geared to meet student interests. Instruction is differentiated to appropriately challenge all grade and ability levels.
