Slime Circuits
- Grades 6-8
- Grades 9-12
Concoct a batch of colorful, conductive slime. Engineer a basic circuit, using your slime as a conductor to light up an LED (and a love of science!). Then conduct a series of electric experiments that showcase the science of switches, resistance, LED color-mixing, and more! Explore the science of polymers — all while having a slimy good time!

My daughter was so impressed with this set. My husband worked on it with her but at 6 she was able to do it all alone when given the directions. Definitely a hit.

My kids and I loved it! I have a 5 and 8 year old. Everyone loved it and we learned a lot! It’s fairly messy at first, and you definitely do not want to get the slime on any clothes or fabrics bc it will not come out. But with that in mind, it’s awesome!

7 year old loved this, was so excited to show it off & explain it to people! He loves science/math so it was good for him but if you have a kiddo who isn't all in on those, I'd maybe wait until they were 8/9. Either way, fantastic for explaining electricity and circuits!

We homeschool and it was the perfect science project and great instructions that my child could follow on his own.
