Ticket Purchase – Liquid Rainbows and non-Newtonian fluids (11-16)

Quick -- what can change its shape to fit any container, squeeze into the narrowest places, and even defy gravity?  If you said a liquid, you are right!  In this session, we're going to explore the amazing properties of fluids.  Try stacking colourful liquids in a jar to make a rainbow, and mix up a gooey batch of oobleck to learn more about non-Newtonian fluids.  We'll also learn how research and development chemists have to consider these properties when they're designing a new lotion or shampoo.
