About the event
Join us at the GROW Farm for a hands-on adventure where kids explore the magic of science and the power of agriculture! Students will learn how corn- one of South Carolina's most important crops-can be transformed into slime through a fun chemistry experiment. They'll mix, squish and observe a mysterious substance called Oobleck, which behaves like both a liquid and a solid. Plus, they'll get to see real corn growing in the garden and discover how farmers grow the plants that power food, fuel and even science!
This engaging experience includes: Cornstarch SLIME activity (100% safe and edible ingredients), real farm exploration with growing corn, a perfect mix or STEM, agriculture and outdoor fun!
