Make Some Slime

He slimed me! Anyone who has seen the 1984 classic film Ghostbusters has heard Bill Murray’s post-ghost-attack proclamation. But at the Borax Slime Day, encounters with the gooey stuff have nothing to do with ghosts and everything to do with science. At the event, instructors will discuss the chemistry of borax and how it interacts with other materials to make slime. Participants will have the chance to make their own slime, in a variety of colors and textures. The free class will be held on June 16, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., at the Lake County Historic Courthouse Museum in Lakeport and is open to children and adults.
