Uncover the mysteries behind slime, goo and even diapers! In the Fun with Polymers Workshop, girls become product consultants for a fictitious company, Polymer Fun, Inc. They visit and assist various “research scientists,” making and evaluating new products, such as helping Dr. Ick develop special-effects products for the movie industry and helping Dr. Elmer develop new “rubber” products to be used on the soles of shoes. With Dr. Green, they’ll create and test all-natural polymers, and they’ll work with Dr. Dry to solve a problem for the company president, Dr. Plastic, whose baby has leaky diapers. Yikes!
