Science Day 2009
Hundreds of kids, young and old, set a world record by participating in the largest
chemistry lesson at Science Day 2009. “Participants learned all about polymers by
creating slime,” says Outreach Science Educator Jason Lindsey with Hooked on Science.
To be exact, folks created 268 batches of the green goop. All documentation will be sent
to Guinness World Records to make the record official. This is the third record-breaking
science event for Southeast Missouri.
