Alien Slime Lab by Thames and Kosmos

Alien Slime Lab by Thames and Kosmos combines real science and playful science fiction to ignite an interest in chemistry. As lead scientist, it’s your job to identify UFOs — Unidentified Funky Oozes! Set up and use your lab station to mix up batches of unidentified “alien” slime and conduct tests on them to analyse and investigate their special properties. The manual details 4 assignments comprising a total of 10 experiments. The full colour step by step instructions are both pictorial and written and encourage a child to work methodically and follow instructions.

The kit comes with all the tools needed to set forth on your alien slime research mission. Use the syringe to conduct viscosity tests, roll the slime with a roller, and dissect it with tweezers and a plastic scalpel. Cut a brain shape out of the slime, stamp it with an alien head, and add eyes to it! Explore your slimes’ make-up and properties — such as their different colours, glittery components, and glowing and colour-changing effects — and then use your findings to correctly identify the different slimes. Real science and playful science fiction come together in this wacky, activity-filled kit! A superb kit to ignite an interest in chemistry. Age 8 – 12 years
