YES

Thanks to some hard work and generosity from the SLSC Public Programs department, staff had the opportunity last week to walk across water.

"How?" you ask?

By combining corn starch with the proper amount of water, you can reach of state of matter we call OOBLECK, a Non-Newtonian Fluid which retains shape when under pressure but melts and fills a space like water. This means you can hit it, roll it in your hands, and even walk on it. However, the second you stop moving your feet, you will begin to sink.

Interested in learning more about Oobleck and other gross, sticky, fun science concepts? Give us a call at 314.289.1414 and book a program for your group. Who knows? Maybe we can bring Oobleck to you!

I am so sad this is the last day of work. I am going to miss everybody, it went so fast. This was a good experience. i made good friends and i enjoyed my group i was in. Tim you were a cool supervisior. I can't wait to see you guys in the fall. Well bye for now

I'm kind of gonna miss this group. We enjoyed a lot of stuff. Still kinda hung over from pizza from lunch. But this was a really awesome experience. (Wahhhhhhh!) :'(

The summer is finally over, and this is the last blog post of it. This is also the last Day of Summer time science for me.I will always remember this summer in particular because of the friebnds i've made and the teaching i will always have with me. Goodbye for now. -Malik c

well not entirely, ill probably be back this fall. but i cant wait till next summer, to see all of my friends again because im diffenetly going to miss this group. well bye for now!;)

i am so happy that i am almost done with my project.At first i thought the project that i am doing wasnt going to take this long...i am so glad that i got to learned from this experiment...im so glad that this project is almost over...

GIRLS HAVE THE BEST MEMORY!!!!! HOORAY! okay so i didnt exactly get the time to do the project to see who had better memory. but to tell the truth girls would have won for sure, no offense guys. anyway ill talk about it anyway on how it would have been done. okay so the materails were one watch that read: 12:00, one barbie doll, a radio, a riddle, and the tray that the materails were on. the point of this was to let two boys and two girls observe the materials for about 6 mins then wait one week then id ask them: 1. what time did the clock have? 2. what was the color of the dolls dress? 3. what exact song was playing on the radio? 4. what was the second line in the riddle? 5. what was the fifth object? and the reason i said the last question was because i wouldnt tell them what the fifth object was. okay so now that you've read my blog tell me what you think. which would win, boys or girls?
