GALLERY | Monsters and Mad Scientists at the Georgia Southern Museum

The Georgia Southern Museum is filled with spooky fun for their Monsters and Mad Scientists event this week! The Mad Scientists Demonstration and Spooky Slime Lab brought hours of fun for all ages.

The Georgia Southern Museum is hosting a spook-tacular series of kid-friendly events this week as part of their Monsters and Mad Scientists Halloween theme.

On Tuesday, kids of all ages enjoyed making slime and exploring spooky science supplies as part of the Mad Scientist Demonstration and Spooky Slime Lab! 

Museum staff were decked out in zombie and mad scientist gear, and they supplied each participant with a kid-sized lab coat to wear while they were in the slime lab. Everyone got to pick their slime color, then mix the sticky goo by hand until satisfied. There were also Halloween themed slime mix-ins!

Kids also got the chance to play with spooky science equipment including a glass apparatus that boils water using the warmth of your hand, a plasma ball, a speaker that made spooky sounds as you got closer to it, and even jars filled with liquid and various "organs!"

The museum's best-loved exhibits were part of the festivities as well - spiderwebs, spooky signage related to the exhibits (even a terrifying true story about a horse and veterinarian!), and the megalodon jaws were all fit for a haunted house experience!
