Over twenty Denver-area home schooling moms visited the Steve Spangler Science laboratories this week for a special Halloween science workshop.
We have never done a workshop specifically for parents. Steve Spangler offers many opportunities for teachers across the country to take part in a science Boot Camp, but this was the first time parents were invited to come to our labs and learn how to bring more science into their lessons.
Steve Spangler offered the workshop as an opportunity to share some Halloween science experiments and activities with the moms (and one dad) to help enhance their science curriculum as well as give them the tools to go out and share with other parents.
After years of doing school science shows and student and teacher workshops, the Spangler Science team has come to understand the essence of what we do – we teach people to be amazing by providing them with products and innovations that are educational, entertaining, and inspire the imagination.

This contest has ended. Thank you for entering. Congratulations to our winner, Melitsa @playactivities!
You’ll be the hit of the party if you win 25 gallons of Spangler Slime – that’s 95 liters for those mad scientists who love the metric system. This isn’t some pre-made slime… no… it’s Spangler’s special PVA formulation for concocting the perfect batch of slime! If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll receive 25 gallons of green Slime Goo (the best PVA – polyvinyl alcohol) solution and Slime Cross-Linker (the linking agent that hooks it all together when you mix the two liquids). You mix it… you make it… and people go wild for slime.
What do you have to do to win? Just follow the directions below…

I remember a time when Halloween was nothing more than dressing up and running from house to house in search of the greatest candy bars. Fast-forward to 2008 and Halloween is a big deal… elaborate costumes, parties galore and merchandising second only to Christmas. Oh, did I mention that it’s a dream come true for the highly-motivated, somewhat neurotic science teacher who can’t wait to make things glow, ooze, pop, scream and gross out everyone who is willing to participate.
If you’re one of these teachers, please keep reading (because I need your help). This year, we’re compiling a list of the best Halloween Science Demos… so far. You’ll find some of my favorites in the list below, but this is just the starting point. I want to know your best Halloween Science Demos.
Just post a comment below and share what makes your students (or children) scream with excitement!
