On Halloween, all of the middle school students got to participate in making some spooky slime and some flying ghosts in Mrs. Trembath's science class. The flying ghosts were made from ancient relics (film containers), 5ml of water, and half of an Alka-Seltzer tablet. It was a fun-filled day learning about polymer chemistry and physics. #celebrate379
