This is a kit with a difference - it’s about the world of the gooey, oozing, slimy, slippery, runny, swampy and sticky kind - a specialist branch of science called polymer science.

In this CSIRO Double Helix science kit you’ll discover the properties of those strange fluids that don’t obey the usual scientific rules. Learn about that weird fluid, silly putty, that stretches, snaps, bounces and shatters. Extract plastic from milk, sizzle the flesh off a slime monster, swell a gel, make HEAPS of different slimes....and a whole lot more.

The kit includes an easy-to-read instruction book, along with most of the equipment needed to perform the experiments at home.
