Slimy science fun at two Wokingham Borough libraries
Children will have a fun introduction to science at two Wokingham borough
libraries this Easter holiday.
The Science of Slime sessions at Wokingham Library and Lower Earley Library will be run by Dr Averil Macdonald, from the physics department of the University of Reading, who will be showing children some of the wonders of scientific slime.
During the session the children will take part in experiments to turn various chemical concoctions into some serious slime.
Dr Macdonald said: “How do you make the slimiest slime, the foamiest foam and the bounciest balls? Science has the answers and this activity session will give you the chance to try it for yourself - and you can take your slime home to impress your friends. Fun science like this is the ideal way to inspire children with science. They are learning without realising and having a good time on the way. This has to be one of the best ways to spend half a day of a school holiday.”
The sessions will be on Thursday April 12, with the first at Lower Earley Library, in Chalfont Close, from 10.30am to 11.45am and the second at Wokingham Library, in Denmark Street, from 2pm to 3.15pm.
The sessions, which are free, are aimed at children aged eight to 11 and places must be booked in advance from Lower Earley Library on (0118) 931 2150 and Wokingham Library on (0118) 978 1368.
