Slime and Snow Workshop @ Tin Can Bay Library @ Tin Can Bay Library

Create your very own winter wonderland by making some fluffy instant snow, and watch the science come to life! Then it’s time to make space in your holiday plans for mixing up some galaxy slime!

We’ll be running drop-in workshops throughout the Gympie region so there’s no need to book ahead. However, with strictly limited numbers of participants permitted for each session, make sure you arrive nice and early so you don’t miss out!

We’ll see you there for some seriously fun science!

Bookings are needed for the library events – contact the libraries directly.

Sep 22 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Slime and Snow Workshop @ Gympie Library @ Gympie Library

Join the Street Science team as junior scientists get to mix chemicals (safe ones) together and watch the amazing change from liquid to ooey-gooey bubble slime right before their eyes. Junior scientists will also get to make instant snow and watch this amazing polymer expand 100 times its original size to create piles of soft, fluffy fun. Ideal for children aged six years and older.

Signature Science Show @ Museum of Tropical Queensland Townsville @ Museum of Tropical Queensland
Sep 26 @ 10:30 am – 2:00 pm
Signature Science Show @ Museum of Tropical Queensland Townsville @ Museum of Tropical Queensland

A spectacular show of ice and fire awaits with our Signature Science Show! Your kids will be guided through a high-impact science adventure of liquid nitrogen, fiery flourishes and curious chemicals in an unforgettable lesson on how particles behave in the matter around us. They’ll also explore the energy of light that can be absorbed, reflected and refracted before our eyes, in a dazzling experiment that lights up the room.

We will be conducting two Signature Science shows each day.
10:30 am – 11:30 am & 1 pm – 2 pm
