Mad Scientist Toxic Slime !

Last week, I hosted the Make and Take at our public library!

Pumpkinbutt and I dressed up like Mad Scientists and taught everyone how to make their own vial of Radiation Run Off Toxic Slime.

The marquee!  So official! I felt like a celebrity!

I was able to obtain medical supplies from work and then added printed images/labels I found on the internet to make them more "mad scientist-ish". All the kids got Mad Scientist badges to wear also.

Infectious Substance= green food dye.  I made sure to don my latex gloves as part of the show while placing the drop into the vials.  I made sure to say things in reference to the toxic components burning a hole through the table, so be sure to handle them carefully.

While waiting for all the kids to arrive, I had prepared printed out coloring sheets for them to draw and design their own evil specimens (color sheet found here ).  I put the crayons in a medical sharps container. 

Here I am measuring out Contaminated Water for a young Mad Scientist. 

On the back of the coloring sheet, I made a list of scientific instructions and calculations for making the Toxic Slime.  The real recipe is below.  I found it in a wizard party planning book last year while preparing the potions class for Pumpkinbutt's Harry Potter Party.

We all had such a fun time at the Make and Take! I was happy that they let me do it and really excited that they asked me to host another in the summer as part of a Science Education grant they were awarded.
