Facts You Can Feel Blog

Well, maybe the parents who have to clean it up, but every kid LOVES slime. And guess what? It is SO easy to make at home. We have put together a super simple science experiment for the families at home today to try making their own slime version. Feel free to play with your ratios of ingredients and use some different colours. Maybe record what measurements made your favourite slime consistency and let us know!

This simple science experiment is an awesome combination of artistic creativity and testing of scientific properties!

This physical science video is all about looking at our centre of gravity. What is it exactly and how can we test our own balance? Check it out!

Hi everyone!

Last year, we highlighted in our 2019 post that gender equality is one of the biggest challenges we face and nowhere is that more visible than in the traditionally male-dominated fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Only 35% of girls worldwide choose to study STEM in higher education.

You might feel a bit … well, silly, wearing it.

The quest for the perfect cocktail. It sounds like something out of a fantasy movie but it’s consumed bartenders and molecular gastronomists for decades. How do you craft the right balance of bitter to sweet? Do you add salt or sugar? Lemon or lime?

As we move towards a more sustainable future, backyard science has become more than mini beasts and botany. We are seeing increasing sustainable and solar-powered science in our own backyards (yay!). Things like worm farms, solar panels and water-conserving gardening systems are great ways to teach your children about science while helping sustain our environment.

We’ve been a bit busy here at Science Space Wollongong over the last few months. We’ve celebrated our 30th Birthday, smashed our BIGGEST school holiday period EVER and only now are we feeling like we can stop and take a deep breath; a deep breath of our Oxygenated atmosphere.

Exciting news! Science Space was recently chosen as one of the best fun kids venues by Parents Guide Illawarra!
