Stretch sticky slime! Squish and shape the sparkly stuff. We’ll use ooey ooblek and gobs of glittery / glow-in-the-dark goo to explain the physics of fluids and non-Newtonian substances. Connect with the chemistry of polymers by concocting different slime samples each weekend in our Design Lab.  

September 2 - 4 | Glow-in-the-dark goo: When the lights go out, find out why you can still see this slime.
September 9 - 10 | Galactic slime: It’s glitter galore with blinged-out slime.
September 16 - 17 | Slimapalooza! Sink your hands (and feet) into our massive tub of oobleck outdoors, then make your own oobleck.
September 23 – 24 | Moody Ooze: exploring Thermochromic (heat sensitive) slime.

It’s never been more fun to get slimed!

Get ready for some hair-raising fun at Powerhouse all through October. We have five weekends worth of weird science for the whole family. Discover magical moon phases. Concoct potions in our haunted laboratory. Learn about bloodthirsty creatures and candy chemistry. Cackle with delight when we slingshot pumpkins and get into the guts of those gourds. You’re sure to enjoy the ghoulishly good experiments and spooktacular science!

September 30 – October 1 | Spooky Sky | Hoooowwwwwlllll at the spooky moon with us! Explore the moon’s many magnificent phases.
October 7 - 8 | Blood Suckers | Vvwwee Vvwwant to learn about blood! Investigate fascinating facts about blood sucking bats and pesky parasites. (Sat. & Sun. | Noon & 2 PM*) Make your own magnified “blood sample” from cool kitchen ingredients.
October 14 - 15 | Sweet Treat Science | We’ll get tricky with treats this weekend. Spooky scientists help you experiment with candy chemistry.
October 21 - 22 | Haunted Laboratory | Experience the excitement of creating bubbling potions and eerie mixtures with our creative chemists.
October 28 - 29 | Pumpkin Slingshot Spooktacular | Ready… set…SPLAT! Get ghoulish with gourds to test the physics of flying objects. 

*Activities run Saturday & Sunday 11 AM - 4 PM unless otherwise noted.
