Program Description

Event Details

Inspired by Dr. Seuss' Bartholomew and The Oobleck, we will be conducting a science experiment and creating the mysterious green substance known as Oobleck, which has both solid and liquid properties!  That is, if you pour it or dip your fingers in it, it acts like a liquid.  But if you squeeze it, push it, or otherwise apply pressure to the mixture, it acts like a solid! Want to "walk on water"?  Make enough Oobleck to cover your floor! (Disclaimer: this is not recommended, as clean-up may require a visit from the Cat in the Hat.)

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library.
