Magical Substance
What substance can be fluffy, squishy and stretchy all at the same time, and is loads of fun to play with? The answer – slime! Slime is a strange substance: left to its own devices, it oozes like a liquid; give it a push or a pull, and it's stiff like a solid. During Croucher Science Week, the Science Museum Group from the UK is running a fascinating drop-in activity to introduce the science behind slime at the Hong Kong Science Museum. We will look at materials around us and their states of matter, how they change and transform, and make use of these states of matter to create your very own slippery slime to take home at the end of the day. Additionally, Walkabout Magic Shows and various science activities will be in action to highlight the part science plays in our everyday lives. Come and join us to explore, discover and find fun in science!
Extracting DNA
A science team from the Australian Museum will perform drop-in activities. Audience will have a chance to extract DNA from fruits.
Teacher Development Workshop
Our activities will focus on connecting classroom learning with your students’ everyday lives, to help demonstrate the relevance and potential of science, and build skills that are useful for science.
