Wokingham

Wokingham district council’s libraries are teaming up the physics department at Reading University to offer Science of Slime workshops at Wokingham and Winnersh libraries.

Dr Averil MacDonald will be showing the Wokingham children how to make slime, and then they will be given a chance to put the chemistry to work to make some slime themselves. This workshop is suitable for 8-11 year olds.

Dr Averil MacDonald said: “A great way to find out exactly what makes slime slimey and balls bouncy is to make your own to take home.” Elizabeth Mcdonald, community librarian, added: “It promises to be a fun workshop and I hope many local youngsters will come along and learn something new!”

There are many events taking place at Wokingham district’s libraries this summer. They are free to attend but places must be booked in advance by contacting the appropriate library.
