We'd love to hear about times that work for you!
Your child who has to touch everything, test everything, and ask why it works that way is about to meet a substance that breaks the rules of science — and honestly, it might just break their brain a little too (in the best way). Oobleck is solid when you punch it and liquid when you hold it. It shouldn't exist. And yet here we are, with a bowl of it on the table and a kid who cannot stop poking it. Over two days, that curiosity becomes real science. Students mix, squeeze, and test their way through the science of non-Newtonian fluids — discovering what makes a substance behave the way it does, how force and pressure change everything, and why oobleck refuses to play by the rules every other liquid follows. We use real vocabulary and real scientific process, and yes, things will get messy. That's kind of the whole point. For sensory-seeking kids, hands-on learners, and anyone who checks out the moment science becomes a worksheet — this class was built for them. Students record their observations in a scientist notebook, because we're not just having fun with goop. We're building the habit of thinking like a scientist. By the end, your child will be able to explain viscosity, describe what makes a fluid non-Newtonian, and walk through exactly how they figured it out.
